Writing Skills Facilitators
Colleen Murphy
I'm a graduate student in geomorphology studying slow-moving landslides. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to improve my own science writing skills and I'm excited to share some tips and tricks that I've learned with GEOPATHS students!
Will Chapman
I am a PhD student studying geomorphology, and my research focuses on the history of the San Lorenzo River floodplain and the impact of recent land use changes on floodplain ecosystems. I care a lot about scientific writing—after all, what good is science if it can't be communicated? I'm very excited to work with students on how to convey difficult concepts in engaging and concise ways.
