Scientific Writing (basic) (Online)

Qualifizierungsangebot für Lebenswissenschaftler:innen der MHH

Writing scientific manuscripts is rewarding but can also turn out to be a frustrating task, even for experienced authors. This workshop focuses on improving the skills of writing texts and generating figures. An important part is to get acquainted with the “Word Flow” method of writing which aims at making writing faster and less frustrating. The second focus lies on scientific figures. Good and bad examples will be shown and will be reviewed by the participants. Finally, we will imbed your questions that you will bring along into the workshop.

This workshop is designed for scientists from the Life Sciences who have little experience in scientific writing (e.g. MD/PhD level).
