Testimonials

…I would like to thank you both for one of the most useful workshops I have attended since starting my PhD.

Kind regards,
Alyson LittlePh.D. Researcher, Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Aberdeen
…I wish to thank you both for taking time out to help myself and I am sure the future up and coming scientists in explaining the process of scientific writing at your workshop in Edinburgh. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day learning how to write a little more concisely and in a more direct way. Both these concepts are very little understood when I was first starting my Ph.D and now that I am in my final year this workshop couldn’t have come at a more useful time. The information I obtained during the workshop will (hopefully) allow me to have a better understanding of how to write in a more concise and direct way not only for my thesis but for any future publications I write. Nick Jones and I have commented on more than one occasion (since we returned to Bangor University) on how this type of course would be very beneficial not only to 1st year M. Biology student here at Bangor but also to Masters and Ph.D students. Please keep up the good work. Kind Regards,
Andy Marriott

…Jan and Howard bounce off each other brilliantly, both adding insight where necessary. The informality made it much easier to ask questions. Thank you very much.
