Welcome to our blog


Hi students, staff and other blog devotees


This blog is for all aspiring scientific writers to explore some of the common writing issues in science.

The blog will join companion workshops, which will run through the remainder of Study Period 5 at the Mawson Lakes Campus of UniSA.

Some of the topics covered in the face-to-face workshops will include:
  • Finding and Using Information (what ARE the best databases, anyway?)

  • Mind-mapping (organising your ideas)

  • Frameworks (what goes into an 'introduction' anyway?)

  • Sources (how to use them to your best writing advantage)

  • Journal articles (reading for meaning and efficiency)

  • Technical and academic language

  • Critical thinking

  • Editing

And more...REGISTER NOW

So stay posted and please contribute to our writing community. We would like to hear from you about any workshop ideas you might have.
