After the investigations and research are completed, scientists share their findings with peers through written publications, graphics, and/or oral presentations. Technical and scientific communication has guidelines to which students are not always exposed, so it is important to teach and model quality scientific and technical communication skills.
Share with students the tenets of good scientific and technical writing, oral presentation skills, and graphic design. These tips are synthesized from several sources and delineate the skills necessary to communicate scientific information effectively.
Written communication
“The fundamental purpose of scientific discourse is not the mere presentation of information and thought but rather its actual communication. It does not matter how pleased an author might be to have converted all the right data into sentences and paragraphs; it matters only whether a large majority of the reading audience accurately perceives what the author had in mind.”
—George Gopen and Judith Swan, “The Science of Scientific Writing”
