By Debra Biasca, JD, PhD</p>
<p>While using correct grammar is certainly a requirement for
professionalism and maintaining credibility in your field,
scientific writing experts agree that writing for the reader
is crucial; and stylistic errors can present barriers to
getting your message across to readers. </p>
<p>This workshop will provide you with explicit tools based on
writing style that you can apply to improve the readability
of your own manuscripts. You will also have an opportunity
to practice using these tools. While this workshop can be
helpful for native and non-native speakers who want to
improve their writing, it should be particularly helpful for
non-native speakers from cultures where readability is not a
primary concern.</p>
<p>To make the most of this workshop, attendees should read
“The Science of Scientific Writing” by George D. Gopen and
Judith A. Swann (American Scientist, Nov-Dec 1990, Volume
78, 550-558, posted with permission at <a

<p>* Debra Biasca received her PhD in Linguistic in 1999,
after a first career as an attorney. She is now teaching
scientific writing for the Physics Department at CU Boulder.
Her students come from a variety of departments, including
biochemistry, geology, mechanical and electrical
engineering, computer science, aeronautical engineering, and
physics. She has also assisted engineers and scientists in
our community and beyond with writing projects that include
journal articles, books, and grant proposals. Debra also
coaches academic writers and teaches ESL and other foreign
languages (French and Yiddish) to children and adults.</p>
