Biological Sciences

"[P]rovides students with all of the techniques and information they need to communicate their scientific ideas, insights, and discoveries."

Provides guidance and practical strategies for science writing for native and non-native speakers.

"Organized topically with information on the structural elements and the style of scientific communications, each chapter draws on models of past successes and failures to show students and practitioners how best to negotiate the world of print, online publication, and oral presentation."

"Telling people about research is just as important as doing it."

"Hollywood has a lot to teach scientists about how to tell a story--and, ultimately, how to do science better."

"Urging scientists to speak up and be heard in current debates, Cornelia Dean offers advice on public speaking, media relations and popular science writing."

Poor presentation of data is everywhere; basic principles are forgotten or ignored. As a result, audiences are presented with confusing tables and charts that do not make immediate sense. This book is intended to be read by all who present data in any form.

"By showing the differences between strong and weak presentations, by identifying the errors that scientific presenters typically make, and by teaching a much more powerful approach for scientific presentations than what is commonly practiced, this book places you in a position to elevate your presentations to a high level."

"[G]uides researchers and graduate students of virtually any discipline in the creation of compelling science communication."
