SCN – Write it Right: Advancing your Approaches to Scientific Communication
The Stem Cell Network (SCN) is excited to partner with Project MaVen to host a four-part virtual training series: Write it Right: Advancing your Approaches to Scientific Communication. This training series is designed to help equip trainees/highly qualified personnel (HQP) with advanced approaches and practical skills for scientific writing within their academic career and beyond. Each of the four sessions focuses on a different aspect of scientific writing.
