OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The goals of communicating science and of doing science are not directly aligned. This doesn’t mean, however, that scientists have nothing to learn from the principles of science writing. In this talk I’ll pull from established science writing principles as well as my own experience as both a scientist and science communicator to demonstrate how these principles can assist in scientific thinking. This will include ideas about doing literature research, thinking about narratives, pulling together disparate concepts, and keeping the bigger picture in mind.
