This weekly course is designed for biologists to develop their scientific writing skills. It aims at biologists at any stage of their university career from bachelor, to master and doctoral students. The course consists of four hours per week per semester. The course allocates two hours to in-person lectures and discussions on specific components of the scientific writing. These lectures and discussions are complemented with two hours of exercises of diverse nature. The two-hour exercise component of the course takes place a time that suits the students, with the aim of accommodating the different schedules and writing pace and experience of each participant. The course will explore multiple examples of scientific writing, for instance, how to write BSc, MSc and PhD dissertations (depending on demand), but also how to write abstracts for manuscripts, conferences or grant proposals. Students will have to hand in a written report at the end of the course to get the credits. Overall, the course offers a goal-orientated, hands-on approach to scientific writing, and will accommodate on-demand requests from the daily scientific work of the participants.
