From data to discourse: writing with coherence and clarity in scientific papers

27/11/2025  13 – 16:00 hrs

This workshop supports doctoral students in translational medicine in developing a clear, coherent, and engaging academic writing style to communicate complex ideas. Through a blend of short preparatory materials and interactive in-class activities, participants will explore how to structure scientific papers effectively, create flow between and within sections and paragraphs, and express their findings with precision and readability.

Using their own writing as a starting point, students will reflect on their choices as authors and exchange constructive feedback with peers, gaining practical strategies for turning data into well-structured, persuasive scientific discourse.

Workshop in presence preceded by an online self-study phase.

Location: House 42
