I presented in our lab meeting today and used the occasion to talk about writing for science (as well as writing in general). I get to proof-read a lot of texts in the lab (scholarship applications, resumes, grad school applications, manuscript drafts etc.) and I have noticed some common issues that crop up a lot. This talk goes over some of these problem areas and offers some suggestions.

Thanks to the students for letting me share some of their writing.
