CCBIO908 Scientific Writing and Communication Seminar 2023

CCBIO is happy to be inviting you to a seminar in scientific writing and communication, May 22-23, 2023. 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.

Learn how to:

• Organize ideas, results and messages in a scientific paper
• Improve titles and abstracts
• Present a clear problem statement
• Use punctuation, grammar and numbering in a text

The course will also present and discuss what is good research communication.

There is something to learn for all of us! We strongly encourage students at all levels, including postdocs, to prioritize this and attend! Senior staff is also very welcome. The seminar is also open to national and international visitors, and is free of charge.
