Description:

This two-day workshop enables life scientists to communicate their research clearly and effectively. Through numerous writing examples and relevant exercises as well as class discussions, participants learn how to describe their research findings in a publication containing a flowing narrative with a clear “take home message”. The interactive nature of the workshop means participants benefit not only from the extensive experience of the instructor but also from the ideas of other participants.

Each participant receives a workshop manual and exercise book intended to serve as long-term reference material. Additionally, writing samples from each participant are edited by the class instructor and integrated into the workshop.

The workshop teaches participants not only to target their publication to a specific audience but also to direct their day-to-day research using the writing process.

 

Preparation:

Before the workshop, participants are asked to choose a published research article of interest from their own research field. They also provide a short sample of their own writing comprising an Abstract and Title (max. 250 words) either from a manuscript currently in preparation or describing their research so far. Early stage PhD students may choose to submit an outline of their proposed project.

 

Several unique features differentiate Science Craft's workshop on Scientific Writing from other forms of training:

  • Participants receive extensive edits and comments on their own writing sample from the trainer.
  • Integration of selected research articles ensures that workshop activities are even more relevant to participants' specific fields of research.
  • Participants are provided with a clear “road-map” to help them write their next research article in an efficient and painless manner.
