Advanced Scientific Writing (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 addresses scientists from the Life Sciences who have already gained writing experience having written their PhD/MD theses or papers.

The 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. Writing reviews and being the corresponding author are likely tasks of the more experienced scientist. We will address both topics in the training. Finally, we will imbed your questions that you will bring along into the workshop.

Please note: This course is for advanced academic writers only! Please refer to Scientific Writing for beginner levels.
