Scientific Writing Seminar

CCBIO is happy to be inviting you to a two-day seminar in scientific writing, May 15th and 16th 2019. The seminar is open for all (requires registration). 

The course is part of the CCBIO/INTPART program, where students’ education and exchange is promoted through collaboration between CCBIO and the Boston based Harvard Medical School and Harvard Kennedy School. Elisabeth Wik is coordinating the program. This two-day seminar in scientific writing was first run in December 2017 and was a great success.

Lecturers:

Christine Møller, an experienced lecturer in medical and scientific writing and assistant editor of APMIS (Acta Pathologica Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica).

Randy Watnick, associate professor at the Vascular Biology Program, Harvard School of Medicine.

There is something to learn for all of us! Seminars like this are not frequently offered at the Medical Faculty, and we strongly encourage students at all levels, including postdocs, to prioritize this and attend! Senior staff is also very welcome.
