Propels: Writing for Impact: From Lab to Lay Audience

Whether you’re drafting a grant application, writing an abstract, or explaining your project to a non-specialist, how you write can determine whether your work gets read—or remembered. Why using your own voice in writing is important.

This session will help you adapt academic writing for clarity and impact across different audiences. You’ll learn how to distill your message without dumbing it down, structure a compelling narrative, and avoid common pitfalls like jargon overload and passive phrasing. Through real examples and short writing exercises, you’ll leave with tools to sharpen your voice and make your science land with reviewers, collaborators, and the public. Bring laptop or device. Bring something that they want to communicate.

Registration is required.
