"What is written without effort is read without pleasure".

Samuel Johnson (English writer and lexicographer (1709–1784)

Class overview

Publishing a paper or writing a thesis are important stepping stones for a scientist. Writing high-impact science requires polish and politics. Your success will depend not just on your ability to write clearly and succinctly, but also your ability to identify and communicate with confidence the core messages of your research.

In this workshop, we will learn effective scientific writing and then take what we learned to prepare a research manuscript.

You will read and edit both published and unpublished scientific manuscripts, and you will prepare your own scientific manuscript.
