Write Like A Scientist
Write Like a Scientist is designed to aid students in writing more effectively in the genres that professional scientists routinely read and write.
Write Like a Scientist differs from the many available scientific writing guides out there. We know that simply reading a tip (“be concise!”) doesn’t immediately translate into understanding and into improved writing. Instead of simply telling students what to write or providing to-do lists, we provide guided practice in recognizing and emulating the features of effective writing and in making intentional writing choices. In doing so, we help students become more flexible and reflective scientific writers who can successfully address multiple audiences.
