[Grad-postdoc-assn] Resources on writing in science

[Valerie Sloan]

Dear all,

I hope that you are getting outside for walks and stretching!  Make a
walk-and-talk appointment with a fellow postdoc to check in on each other.

B.J. Smith (NCAR) shared this list of resources on writing that I wanted to
pass along to you.  Looks like some interesting content in there!

Take care of yourself,
Val
