Upcoming Courses
Write quality papers
Wednesday, 31 May 2023, 10am to 1pm
You enjoy research, but writing papers is either scary or just takes too long. You are under pressure to 'get published' in high ranking journals. Pressing commitments mean, however, that you haven't got patches of undisturbed hours in your diary. If you are a scientist, you work with co-authors who need co-ordinating.
Completing Your DPhil
Thursday, 01 June 2023, 9.30am to 12.30pm
If you are nearing the end of your DPhil, this workshop will help you develop a plan for completing your DPhil and prepare for the viva.
Putting stories to work
Thursday, 01 June 2023, 10am to 1pm
This session builds on the introductory workshop and introduces new elements of great storytelling including metaphor, clarity and message. This highly interactive workshop will be based around an example of writing an explainer or news article for the wider, non-specialist public website.
