Heyy, I'm back (again) after another temporary hiatus. Had a very busy (and stressful) summer so far with project write ups and work experience (more on that in a later post). But, I though now would be a good time to bring up a topic that many people (including myself) find quite difficult...scientific writing.
Now this is also a skill that seems to be vastly underestimated and many people don't appreciate how important it is in science to be able to express yourself clearly and concisely. Whether it's a project report, lab book or dissertation this is a necessary skill.
This is also a useful skill after graduation whether you want to go into academia or into a completely different field, e.g. Law or management consultancy.
In the next few posts I shall attempt to give some tips on how to write in the form of a scientific paper since that is what I am currently doing as part of my field course work.
The main sections in a paper (and which I shall be writing about) are:
Title
Abstract
Introduction
Method
Results
Discussion
References
