BioScript workshop description:
Do you have data to publish, but keep putting off writing that paper because you don’t know where to begin? The Scientific Writing Workshop shows you how to organize, structure and write your research papers effectively and efficiently. How to get started and keep going as well as what goes where and in which tense will be the starting point of this workshop. We will also review key scientific sentence structures as well as strategies to keep your text concise and precise. Issues such as how to create flow and generate the correct level of emphasis will also be discussed. Together we will explore how to make scientific writing understandable and readable and begin the process of integrating these factors into your own scientific writing style. Finally, we will formulate a plan on how you can improve your scientific vocabulary and writing style for future writing tasks.
The Scientific Writing Workshop is ideal for non-native English-speaking early stage research scientists with little or no paper writing experience.
