Your occasional reminder that if you teach Scientific Writing, or you're going to - so do I, and my syllabus and class materials are available here:

Steal this (updated) syllabus for Scientific Writing

I wrote this post just after finishing the 3rd go-around of my Scientific Writing course, back in 2020(!), and then updated it in 2021 and 2023. Since then, I’ve developed a one-week intensiv…

Reporting the death of Prof Alan M. Wilson FRS in a light plane crash in Namibia, while doing wildlife research. He was 62. He built and flew his own planes but I do not know if he either built or flew this one. He even flew from London to Cromer to meet me for lunch (he brought cake). Devastated.

My wife just left for 6 weeks of archaeological field school. It made me think of mine: trekking in Nepal, collecting biomechanics data at altitude. When the field becomes the classroom, every step teaches something new. 🏔️📐 #FieldSchool #Biomechanics #STEM

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.
