We have decades of experience training researchers and all levels to think and write clearly, logically, and convincingly and to display their data in especially effective ways, and thus to get their papers accepted for publication and their grant proposals funded.
Our workshops typically run for 1-4 days and can be delivered in-person or remotely.
Communicating science effectively, whether to other scientists, the media, policy makers or to the general public, is an essential skill for scientists. We must be able to communicate concisely, accurately, logically, convincingly, and in a way that will be clearly understood by the target audience, and hopefully will also be interesting! Our workshops will teach researchers at all levels how to achieve those goals.
We offer workshops on a variety of topics for graduate students and junior-senior researchers, specifically tailored to your needs. The workshops focus on how to communicate science effectively to your peers (through writing), and on the process of scholarly publishing from the perspective of, and with insights from, an experienced editor and author.
Our writing workshops are specifically designed for biologists, and especially for advanced graduate students, post-docs, and new faculty. The workshops cover not only how to write great manuscripts effectively and efficiently, but also how to go about getting those manuscripts published.
Here are some of the topics that we cover.
How to write a compelling proposal that will convince a funding agency and skeptical reviewers to fund your work
The above are examples of what we have covered in previous workshops. We will design a workshop to meet your needs.
Here are some of the topics about which we can deliver 60-90 minute interactive talks.
Our combination of experience and knowledge in scientific writing, editing, publishing and publication ethics represents an exceptionally deep and broad basis from which we can offer participants in our workshop insight into all aspects of scientific writing, publishing and other forms of dissemination.
Charges are based on the amount of time that the workshop or lecture runs for and on whether it is in person or remote. Contact Howard Browman or Jan Pechenik to discuss.
