Josh Schimel from the University of California Santa Barbara is giving a writing workshop for graduate students on Thursday afternoon. Josh recently published a book on scientific writing, “Writing Science – How to write papers that get cited and proposals that get funded” published by Oxford University Press which has been used in quite a few graduate-level writing courses in Biology departments.
