Day 1
On the first day, we began the series by discussing what “effective scientific writing” actually means, and then we talked in more detail about the mechanics (content, structure, and language) of effective writing.

Day 2
On the second day, we continued our discussion about how we can all be effective scientific writers, by talking in some detail about the mentality (mindset, approach, and workflow) of effective scientific writing. We then discussed the importance and practice of giving and receiving writing feedback.

Day 1 and 2 Group Input
Because the first two parts of the discussion occurred over zoom, participant input was first solicited via written input into Google Slides, which can been seen here: Day 1 & 2 Group input; 01 & 22 June
Day 3
On the third day, we discussed important guidelines and norms related to publishing papers, including affiliations, general acknowledgements, funding acknowledgements, and non-English abstracts. We finished with a lengthy (in-person) discussion about paper authorship (which I have done my best to briefly summarized on the final slide of the presentation linked below).
