Aprašymas

A comprehensive guide teaching graduate students and young researchers in the sciences how to construct effective talks and write compelling papers.

There are many good books on writing, but few aimed specifically at scientists and engineers. This comprehensive guide teaches graduate students and young researchers in the sciences how to construct effective talks and write compelling papers that convey not only what they know but also how they came to know it. Scott Milner takes a novel approach, teaching writing and presenting together and emphasizing the universal aspects of telling a science story across formats. He meticulously covers all parts of the scientific writing and creative process, addressing the common difficulties he has encountered over two decades of research and teaching. Coverage includes detailed discussions of writing for journal articles, proposals, reviews, documentation, and teaching, as well as the uses and limitations of chatbots. Writing and Presenting for Scientists and Engineers is a one-stop shop for crafting lucid and impactful science stories.
