| Communicating science is as important to the scientific process as designing, conducting, and analyzing the experiment itself. The workshop focuses on essential techniques for effective writing and presentation of scientific information, and includes a session on the publishing process and on ethics of scientific publication. We will discuss sections of a scientific article, coherence, choice of words, tight writing, parallel structure, and transitions to link ideas. We will also discuss correct grammar, punctuation, preparation of tables and figures, and writing statistics. You will practice writing an abstract, preparing an oral presentation, and creating a poster. To engage you in developing your writing and presentation skills, the workshop is in the format of "active learning" -- a combination of an informative PowerPoint® lecture, followed by a practical group task. Tasks involve editing and improving sections of the paper, including tables and figures. At the end of each task, one member from each group reports its activities. The workshop is designed for those who have some experience in writing a scientific paper: those who are at the beginning of their careers, and those who have had more experience in writing scientific papers and would like to refine their communication skills. Scientists from various disciplines are welcome to attend. | |||||||
