This course of 10 classes, led by Marcia Triunfol, CEO of Publicase International, will provide participants an objective and straightforward technique to help them to craft their scientific papers quickly and efficiently. The technique learned during this course can be applied to grant writing and other documents. 
Note: The focus of this workshop, which is targeted to postdocs in the Biological and Biomedical fields, is not on improving language or writing skills per se, but streamlining the process of crafting a scientific paper.

Classes will be virtual and interactive. In addition to the lectures, participants are expected to take quizzes and complete assignments. PDF copies of all classes will be available.
