I believe the main goal of science is to inform and should
always be the main purpose of a researcher. As an aspiring scientist and MS
degree candidate, I ought to breath the rules of scientific or academic
writing. I write emails to my professors, thesis advisers and colleagues daily.
Writing, revising and improving my thesis manuscript is keeping me busy.
Writing is a way of expressing myself. However, I find scientific
or academic writing a higher way of communication. Not only do I need to
express myself, I need to inform people of my scientific results. I do not
usually dread it but the problem with me writing scientifically is that I need
to make sure that people, I mean most people, even non-technical ones, to
understand what I am saying. This way, it is another task to not only make
yourself clear but to make it concise. Any form of misinterpretation of my work
could lead to scientific disasters. My purpose is to let the public know the
highlights or uses of my research. By the way, my work involves probiotics.
I need to improve my skills
in writing scientific reports. I find it hard to convey my interpretation of
data I have gathered especially if the reader is not from the same field. I also
hope to improve my slide presentation skills as this is very useful in
scientific conferences, lectures and gatherings.
