Education Workshop: Scientific Writing 101. Fellowships, papers, and grants! Oh my!
Organizers: Emmitt Jolly, PhD (Dept. of Biology, CWRU) and Claudia Mieko Mizutani, PhD (Dept. of Biology, CWRU)
Description: Scholarly writing is an essential skill in science. In fact, most of lab PI’s time is said to be spent on writing. This workshop will discuss about scientific writing in fellowship application, grant application, manuscript and PhD thesis. Researchers and trainees will share their experience in becoming better writers, training their students in writing, reviewing written work from the scientific community, and talk about the rewards and challenges that come with writing.
Presenters/Discussion Leaders:
Dr. Emmitt Jolly, Associate Professor, Case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Claudia Mieko Mizutani, Associate Professor, Case Western Reserve University (PS – If I am needed)
Dr. Brian Link, Professor, Medical College of Wisconsin.
Dr. Donna Fekete, Professor, Purdue University (PS. Could be late due to driving distance).
Trizi Ibarra, PhD candidate, Case Western Reserve University.
