I'm reviewing abstracts for an upcoming scientific conference, helping the planning team to select which attendees get a chance to present their work. Some are amazingly good. Some suggest that the applicant has not ever been taught how to write an abstract. Here are some basic tips: 🧪

An all-too-common interaction I've had: Scientist: Our research can help shape policy to protect this endangered animal. Me: Neat! How? What policy? What is it now, and what should it be instead? Scientist: Uhhhhh..... Our new paper can help! www.southernfriedscience.com/shark-scient... 🧪🦑🌍🦈

Shark scientists want their research to help save threatened species, but don’t know how. Our new paper can help.

Sharks are some of the most threatened animals on Earth, and accordingly many scientists who study sharks want their research to be useful for conservation. However, most scientific training does n…
