Writing in the Biological Sciences: A Comprehensive Guide to Scientific Communication serves as an essential "one-stop" reference to scientific writing and communication for budding professionals in the life sciences and related fields.

This guide is designed to function as both a free-standing textbook for a course on writing in the sciences and as an accompanying text or reference guide in courses with writing-intensive components.

It covers all the basics of scientific communication that students need to master for successful scientific careers. It lays the foundation for professional writing, starting with basic principles, and then applying these principles to various types of scientific documents, from lab reports and statistical analyses to research articles and grant proposals. Writing in the Biological Sciences also offers practical advice on organizing academic presentations, creating posters, and preparing job applications.
