Making Science and Technology Writing Believable

Science writing has evolved quite a bit from such speculative fiction masters as Philip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury and the stories they wrote long ago. While I still read their stories adamantly, I tend to think that writing more from a Science perspective, where fact is more important than imagination, is becoming increasingly harder, and more important, as mainstream media makes concepts like Quantum Physics, Criminal Forensics etc. available to the masses.
