| Book Description | Effective scientific communication is a skill highly-prized by potential employers, and is central to success during postgraduate study. Communication Skills for the Biosciences is a straightforward, practical guide to the skills you should master to get the most out of your study and research, to pave the way to a successful career. Focusing on the three key modes of communication - written, oral, and visual - the book also includes valuable advice on associated topics, including peer review, data sharing, data ownership, plagiarism, critical review of scientific information and the role of e-technology. Uniquely, the book incorporates annotated examples, bringing to life the guidance and explanations presented in the text, and helping you to master best practice in all areas of science communication. Communication Skills for the Biosciences is a must-have companion throughout your postgraduate career. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Communication Skills for the Biosciences features: For registered adopters of the book: Figures from the book in electronic format, ready to download. PowerPoint slides that can be adapted and used as the basis for workshops or lectures. For students: Examples of best practice in the use of Powerpoint, and preparation of posters. |
| Editorial Review | This is a very useful book for biosciences graduates and postgraduate students as it looks at communication at an advanced level, for example by explaining how to conduct scientific literary reviews or how to write research papers. This learning can complement a postgraduate biosciences course by boosting the grades of the readers and increasing their employability within academia and the private sector. I consider this book a highly recommended graduate guide. * Maria Duncan, University of Hertfordshire * Divan's book transforms oral tradition into a tangible 'how to' guide and teaching tool that supervisors would do well to share with their students. Rich in content but sensibly organized, Communication Skills would work well as the basis of a communications course for senior undergraduates or beginning graduate students. |
