Fwd: [Free webinar] Manuscript writing: Where to go from the first blank page

[Saptarshi Mukherjee]

Oppertunity to learn something new and useful thing.

It’s no secret that an academic career is greatly influenced by publications. So as a researcher, it’s natural for you to try and get at least a few publications to your credit as quickly as you can. But this is no easy feat! Writing a research manuscript can be quite daunting, especially if you’re just starting out. You might feel lost or even anxious, without the slightest clue about where to begin. But guess what – you’re not alone! Most researchers find it challenging to get started on a new manuscript. Although there are plenty of resources out there to help you tackle a piece of academic writing, they’re not always enough. Just as a written recipe for your Mum’s special stew is not enough to feel that familiar tingle in your taste buds; you need her to talk you through the process. Sometimes, the best way to overcome a challenge is to talk to someone else who has experienced it and understand how they dealt with it – this is exactly what we’re trying to enable through this webinar!   To help you understand how to get started with writing your research manuscript from scratch, we’ve invited Shruti Turner, PhD researcher at Imperial College London, to share her own experience with manuscript writing and the strategies she uses to get those first words out on a blank page.   Topic: Writing a research manuscript – Where to go from the first blank page Date and time: June 30, 2021; 9:00 am ET Click here to block your seat! In this webinar, Shruti will talk about: The normality of uncertainty when starting a new manuscript Her personal routine for starting a new research manuscript An easy-to-follow 2-step guide for getting the first words down on a page Manuscript sections you need to focus on first in order to maximize your writing output Aspects of the paper that can be a distraction when you begin writing and therefore, need to be addressed at a later stage. About Shruti Turner Shruti started a PhD with the Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London in January 2018. Her project combines her passion for education and research, while also allowing her to help amputees in need. It is focused on understanding the clinical utility of pressure sensors in lower limb prosthetic sockets to improve fit and evaluate what is meant by ‘good fit.’ Prior to this, Shruti did an MSc Biomedical Engineering and BEng Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Southampton. Shruti maintains an interesting, insightful blog about her time as a PhD student called Shruti’s PhD. She decided to start this blog as a medium for self-reflection, and also in the hope that sharing her experience would inspire others to undertake a PhD.  The seats for this webinar are filling up quickly. So please block your seat right away. I look forward to seeing you on the 30th!   Warm regards, Jayashree Rajagopalan Senior Manager, Global Community Engagement R Voice SOLUTIONS BY © Copyright 2021 Cactus Communications.
