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 audience, how you write can determine whether your work gets read or remembered. Generative AI can be helpful, but it can’t replace you and your own voice when you are writing.
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 a laptop or device. Bring a project that you would like to work on.
Registration is required.
