rules.<\/li><li>Includes editing of participants\u2019 Abstracts and integrates edits of their own material into the workshop.<\/li><li>Trains participants to evaluate published articles for their writing style and not just their science.<\/li><li>Provides participants with a clear \u201croad-map\u201d to help them write their next article in an efficient and painless manner.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><h4>What Sets This Workshop Apart:<\/h4><div><ul><li>Participants receive a printed manual guiding them through all levels of scientific writing from the fundamentals of word choice to the overall structure of the paper.<\/li><li>Integration of research articles selected by participants tailors workshop activities to their specific interests and fields of research.<\/li><li>Instructor is a native English-speaking scientist with over 15 years of scientific writing, editing and publishing experience in high-ranking scientific

You can propose people or if required, we can also help with potential ideas or contacts of speakers if you give us an idea of the field \/ people you like to invite.<\/p><p><b>How it works:<\/b>\u00a0 <br \/>1-2 doctoral students per session invite and host a speaker each\u00a0 (each speaker 25min talks+questions). Speaker can be any person that did a PhD in the (ideally biological) sciences who left academia at some point and work now in different fields of interest.<\/p><p>The format is indeed relaxed, speakers should describe how they got where they are right\u00a0 now, their motivations, trepidations, successes or failures on the way. And any recommendations or tips of course of how to get or what to do\/not to do and when in the career to get to the position they are in right now.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-62d4ea3e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"62d4ea3e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7919ef3e elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"7919ef3e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-627f2c3a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"627f2c3a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-44dba6a6\" data-id=\"44dba6a6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dcca2b4 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5dcca2b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact IMPRS-IDI Office<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ec04261 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5ec04261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">imprs-office@mpiib-berlin.mpg.de<br>+49 30 284 60 140<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23420e72 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"23420e72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Course descriptions Course descriptions Scientific Writing\u00a0 Date: 7-8 May 2026Instructor: Dr. Brian Cusack, ScienceCraft Duration: 2 full days (9:30-17:30)Maximum Capacity:\u00a010 participants with one instructorLocation: MPIIB, Red SaloonCourse fee:\u00a0330 \u20ac from your course budget \u00a0 Purpose Writing-up research findings is a fundamental requirement for scientific success.
