Opis

""Selfish scientists won't share new findings," ran one headline in The Onion. The story was about a group of rebellious scientists who made a groundbreaking, life-saving discovery, but decided to hold on to it, unless they were paid a ludicrous reward. Imagine that for a second: science happening, but without anyone finding out about it"--

Effective Scientific Communication is a book that offers practical guides in a range of scientific skills. This is a text that is very clearly written for students in the sciences . . . It is accessible without dumbing-down the scientific process, and offers tips and tricks throughout in order to help the reader navigate the beginning of their writing career. This is a real strength of the book. a strong introduction to the scientific process and communicating about data . . . I can see it quickly becoming a core and essential text. It will certainly be on my reommended reading lists
