| myCHOICE mini-course: Effective Writing in the Sciences
Tuesday, April 29, 4:30–6:30 p.m., UChicagoGRAD HQ
How can you write about your research clearly without sacrificing precision? In this mini-course, we’ll review how published articles and funded grant proposals tackle common writing challenges. We’ll analyze why each sample article or proposal succeeds (or fails), and we’ll use the successful samples as models for writing techniques you can apply in your own work. We’ll ask that you submit a short (1-5 page) writing sample to the instructor. This workshop is intended for current UChicago STEM PhD students, Teaching Fellows, or Postdocs.
