Scientists are writers. Writing is how scientists communicate their work and initiatives to the world. And it is their writing that people judge to assess the quality of their research. Writing is one of the most important skills for a scientist, yet one of the most difficult to master.

Content

This scientific writing workshop aims to help junior and established researchers improve their writing skills. The workshop is structured in three main parts:

• In the first part, participants learn the elements of structure that characterize excellent scientific papers, such as storytelling.
• The second part focuses on the writing process and provides tips to write more effectively.
• The third part addresses the psychological challenges encountered while writing (e.g., procrastination, self-doubts).

Goals

• Learn the elements that characterize excellent scientific articles writing, including storytelling.
• Identify the steps involved in writing a scientific project and learn how to make them more effective.
• Learn to cope with the psychological challenges that hinder the writing flow, such as doubts, fears, and procrastination
