This unconventional hands-on hybrid lecture/seminar course formally applies the irrefutable power of storytelling to science writing so that you can have the impact you want and need on your readers and your research field. Regular in-class writing exercises and discussions aim to catalyze learner self-discovery and empowerment in narrative writing skills. Students will read, reflect and write a lot in ways they may not have before, consciously harness their creativity and critical thought, and incorporate a story-based toolkit into their work processes. Professional science writing skillsets learned from this course will be applicable instantly and directly to thesis and manuscript writing. Restriction(s): This course is only open only to PhD and MSc students in a USask science graduate program.
