Preparation Strategies for Science Writing: Editing your Draft (9.13.17)

Seating is limited to 20 and registration is REQUIRED. Preference will be given to Quad-based postdocs.

Featured Speaker: Leslie Ann Roldan, PhD Lecturer II, MIT

Description: Revising a draft involves evaluating the overall and paragraph structure of a document: does the document have a coherent thesis? Do the paragraphs support the argument and follow each other in a logical order? This interactive workshop will use peer review and critique to help you refine your message.
Please email and bring a hard copy of your draft (if written, maximum 3-5 double-spaced pages); rough drafts are highly encouraged.
