About the Workshop
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: reviewing sections of a paper, improving a table and figure, practicing an oral presentation, and reviewing posters. The workshop is in the format of active learning – each session consists of a combination of an informative PowerPoint lecture, followed by a practical group task.
 
Workshop Materials
Handout material will include notes from the PowerPoint presentations and the practicals. The book for the workshop is Writing and Presenting Scientific Papers by Birgitta Malmfors, Phil Garnsworthy, and Michael Grossman, 2nd ed., Nottingham University Press (2004).
