<br/><br/> From the beginning of their careers, and forever after, scientists are called upon to do various kinds of writing and speaking. Communication skills are among the qualities most prized by those who hire and promote scientists. Scientific Papers and Presentations provides a concise guide to effective written and oral communication, including posters, presentations, abstracts, journal publications, literature reviews, and theses. Based on the author's fifteen years of experience advising young scientists about scientific writing, this book can be used as a text for courses and seminars on scientific writing and presentation. It is a handy and valuable reference for fledgling scientists.
