"If you’ve navigated to this website, you have a strong desire to become a bioethicist! Because bioethics is interdisciplinary in nature, there are multiple sub-discourse communities such as philosophy, medicine, biology, and law which exist in the discipline. To become a bioethicist, you do not need to be the leading expert in all these fields. Maybe your love for law draws you into malpractice cases or your interest in biology entices you into stem cell research in medicine. Either way, your passion for any sub-discourse community in bioethics is sufficient for you to start learning bioethics.
You might be asking at this point, ‘what do I need to have in order to become a bioethicist?’ From my experience as a novice bioethics writer, I would say you need the following: a passion for an aspect of bioethics, helping others, and an ability to think critically. These set of characteristics or skills will help you to start diving into the discipline. To best assimilate into this discourse community, I suggest learning how to write a case study article like a bioethicist."

"All writing is difficult. Needless to say, all writing also demands patience and focus. However, writing in the public health sector can be trickier than most people think. The public health community encompasses multiple disciplines such as social science, medicine, politics, economics, and education. Within this community, there are multiple genres, audiences, and voices. This can make it extremely difficult to understand how to write, especially when public health connects to social, economic, and legislative issues. The net is cast so wide that sometimes creating a clear, yet reader-friendly paper seems impossible."

"How to Write a Literature Review Like an Undergraduate Researcher"

"How to Write a Literature Review Like an Undergraduate Student [full guide linked here; see left for accompanying infographic] was inspired by my own endeavors in the sciences this semester. I decided that I wanted to start my own independent research, and doing that requires for me to conduct a literature review. When my advisor first mentioned it to me, and showed me his example, I pretty much freaked out. It was this thick packet with nearly 30 sources cited and a lot of annotations. Even when he explained the process of creating his literature review to me, I still didn’t grasp the concept. So, as a struggling undergraduate student having no idea where to start on this task, I decided to research literature reviews themselves. I started to understand the genre, and I felt that taking my knowledge on the subject and turning it into a piece that other students could refer to when creating their literature reviews would be beneficial to the student population."

"For my guide I chose how to write a research paper like a computer scientist...When I think of computer science academic writing and research is not the first thing that comes to mind. What pops into my head are the people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs who revolutionized the computer technology of the real world and build companies around this likely without ever being published in an academic journal. The way computer science is tied to the real world allows for successful paths and careers outside of academia for some of the smartest and most revolutionary thinkers. This made me very curious to explore what the academic scene of computer science looked like, and how it interacted with and is influenced by the world outside this academic sphere through their writing.
