It is discipline-based writing seminar that provides students with the opportunity to hone their writing skills within a field of scientific inquiry. Because lucid writing is essential to communicating science, students will work on the clear expression of ideas within different genres of scientific literature, adapted for different audiences. In developing the science writer's craft, students will also gain techniques applicable to other academic disciplines since writing skills have a universal application.
