OITE WRITING WORKSHOPS
The OITE is offering additional sections of Basic Science Writing and Writing and Publishing a Scientific Paper at the NIH Bethesda campus during March. Visit http://www.training.nih.gov/trainees/writing-workshops.asp <http://www.training.nih.gov/trainees/writing-workshops.asp> to see course dates, to register for either course and to read detailed course descriptions.
COURSE TITLE: Basic Science Writing
AUDIENCE: All trainees
All scientists know the importance of developing great writing skills. This 4-week course is for any trainee interested in improving their writing skills. Designed to be helpful to both native and non-native English speakers, this course will address English grammar basics.
COURSE TITLE: Writing & Publishing a Scientific Paper
AUDIENCE: Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows
This 4-week course is for postdocs and graduate students who, by the start of the class, will have sufficient data to publish a scientific paper. It will be presented by Maggie Meitzler, a professional writer and teacher who also has extensive experience as a scientific editor.
Course Requirements: Each session of the class is limited to 35 participants. In addition to in-class writing practice using short exercises, students will be members of in-class review groups giving feedback to their colleagues. The instructor will provide individual in-class writing guidance and review and analyze weekly writing assignments, providing written feedback. Students interested in taking this class must commit to 8-10 hours per week to writing/editing outside of the classroom. Attendance and active participation at all 4 course sessions is required.
