Dancing Cockatoos, Silent Sparks and the Future: Writing About Science for the Public
Marlene Zuk, PhD, Regents Professor of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota
Website Writing about science for the public is fun, and hard, and requires some skills you may not regularly use as a scientist.
Abstract
What’s good, bad and sometimes weird about writing for the general public? And how can people get started doing it? I will discuss some of the ideas—and misconceptions—about popular science writing.
