This is your chance for free access to 2 Learning Paths of the Wiley Researcher Academy, a new platform designed to support student researchers in many aspects of what it takes to become a successful researcher. In the context of this workshop we’ll be concentrating on writing good science and writing a research paper. Find out how much you know already, take advantage of our online resource for two weeks before the workshop, then have the chance to discuss and do real-time writing exercises with an experienced science editor.
Before the course: from Sept 21 – Oct 3, 2017
Selected participants will be asked to complete Learning Paths 5 and 6 of a platform the link of which will be indicated in due time. These paths are the ones dealing with how to write good scientific English, and how to put a research paper together.
If selected participants wish, they can explore other Learning Paths (of which they are 14), but not mandatory.
During the course: October 4th, 2017
Andrew Moore will present some key topics in more detail, and give real-time verbal and written exercises ; participants will also have the opportunity to ask any questions that had arisen during their completion of LP5 and 6 (and more if so).
Selected participants will get a free access to the Wiley Researcher Academy platform, two weeks before the beginning of the course.
20 people.
Selection based on the motivation of the applicant.
Andrew Moore, Editor in Chief, BioEssays, Weinheim, Germany
Andrew Moore's background is in molecular biology (PhD from the MRC-LMB, Cambridge, 1998), but he decided that his knowledge of biology and interest in communicating could be turned to good use in the support of scientists, rather than working in a lab himself. From 1999 to 2008, he was Programme Manager for Science & Society at EMBO, and contributing editor for the journal EMBOreports. At EMBO, he developed activities ranging from stakeholder conferences, and education workshops for teachers, to media communication workshops for scientists. He has worked in the Wiley publishing group since 2008. Besides being Editor-in-Chief of the journal BioEssays, he is also an editor for the recently launched Advanced Science, and is also Editor-in-Chief of a new student training platform known as the Wiley Researcher Academy.
