Purpose
Writing-up research findings is a fundamental requirement for scientific success. This workshop enables scientists to communicate their research clearly and effectively in a Research Article.
Participants Learn How To:
- Apply five key principles of scientific writing.
- Target their publication to a specific audience by “framing” their research story for increased impact.
- Construct a memorable “take-home message” by connecting all parts of the paper in a flowing narrative.
- Use the writing process to guide & understand their own research.
- Overcome writer’s block by combatting perfectionism and procrastination.
Science Craft’s Teaching Approach:
- Uses discussions, exercises and homework to underscore key-points.
- Equips participants with writing tools rather than burdening them with writing rules.
- Includes editing of participants’ Abstracts and integrates edits of their own material into the workshop.
- Trains participants to evaluate published articles for their writing style and not just their science.
- Provides participants with a clear “road-map” to help them write their next article in an efficient and painless manner.
What Sets This Workshop Apart:
- Participants receive a printed manual guiding them through all levels of scientific writing from the fundamentals of word choice to the overall structure of the paper.
- Integration of research articles selected by participants tailors workshop activities to their specific interests and fields of research.
- Instructor is a native English-speaking scientist with over 15 years of scientific writing, editing and publishing experience in high-ranking scientific journals.
- Participants receive detailed individual feedback on their own writing from the trainer.
Maximum Capacity: 10 participants with one instructor
Instructor: Dr. Brian Cusack

A very enriching experience.
Really liked the lively examples of each participant’s abstract – made it very personal. Lots of scientific examples of good and bad writing and where it is necessary to pay attention.
Awesome.

I very much enjoyed the workshop and I am convinced that it will have a positive impact on my scientific writing style.
Competent guy presented tips and tricks about scientific writing with a smile in a nice atmosphere.
Brian is a very charismatic speaker that engages you into scientific writing. I think my writing improved thanks to this workshop.
It was the best workshop I attended so far.
Nicely structured and brilliantly presented.
I now have a very good understanding of the “structure” of good writing style and a very good toolkit that I can use for my own writing tasks. Thank you.
