Butler Scientific Communications

What would your life look like if writing and editing papers and grants was suddenly simple? What if there were tips and tricks you could employ to make the process easier so that it was no longer such a chore to sit down with your computer? The truth is we have a finite amount of mental energy, and when its taken up by stressing over communicating our results, it can’t be spent doing great science that changes the world. Just think, if your writing process could be simplified and streamlined, could you-publish papers with a higher impact-write more papers in a year-submit more effective grant applications-increase awareness of your lab and your research? Learning to easily and effectively craft compelling science papers and presentations is not an inherent skill for most of us and is also not something that is often taught in grad school. In fact, most students, like I was, are taught how to write a paper like a kid is taught to swim by being thrown in deep water. Its not fun, and learning like this can leave a lasting phobia of a blank page. I know, I had it. The good news is that effective scientific communication is a LEARNED SKILL, and one that ANYONE can master with the right tips. We are about taking the stress out of communicating your results to the world – be it in a manuscript, grant application, or at the coffee corner with your PI – so you can get back to the real reason you became a scientist. It will help you quickly write and edit your papers. It will show you how to convince Reviewer 3. It will increase the impact of your publications.
