Writing for Scientific Impact
Dr. Matteo Rini, Physics Magazine – @PhysicsMagazine
29 de maio – 4a. f – 17h – sala L776
Abstract:
Scientists have a responsibility to share the meaning and implications of their work, both within and outside the research community, but generally receive little training in writing and communication. They thus often feel unprepared to communicate with the public, the media, funding agents and even other scientists. In this talk, I will present some thoughts on science communication, focusing on preparing papers for high-impact journals in physics. The presentation will discuss both general principles of effective communication and concrete examples of good writing techniques.
