Dear all
In the frame of the 'advancement of young researchers' - program the NCCR QSIT offers the following workshop:
SCIENTIFIC WRITING AND PUBLISHING Andreas Trabesinger Reinschrift Science Communication
Writing and publishing is arguably an almost intrinsic part of scientific endeavour. In this workshop, the speaker will present context, tools and perspectives related to writing up scientific results, based on his experience as a professional manuscript editor at Nature Physics, as a freelance editor and as a science writer.
Participants will hear about typical editorial checkpoints, the changing publishing landscape, widespread myths and typical mistakes, and how an appreciation of these aspects can help to communicate more efficiently with editors, peers and a wider public.
Participants will be invited to actively participate in the workshop and to send own texts ahead of the event.
Date: Tuesday March 4, 2014 Place: ETH Science City, HPF G 6 Time: 13:00–14:30; 15:00–16:00
Maximum number of participants: 30 persons
