Double your lab’s research impact, without doubling your workload
Help your trainees produce submission-ready manuscripts while saving you months of revision time.
Are you...
Tired of incomplete or early first manuscript drafts landing on your desk?
Do you spend countless hours teaching the basics of scientific writing to trainees, or hope they figure it out on their own?
Are you stuck in endless revision cycles with manuscripts that barely improve?
Now imagine a lab...
that would produce a steady stream of high-quality publications without much effort.
where first drafts would be close to submission, saving you months of work.
where your trainees would already possess strong scientific writing skills, giving you more time for research and impactful work.
How can I help your lab
I provide structured scientific-writing training for your trainees so they can produce better drafts with less oversight from you.
They learn a clear writing workflow, follow weekly milestones, and progress from idea to outline to polished manuscript with fewer revision cycles for you.
You get a more independent trainee and a smoother publication pipeline — without adding more meetings to your schedule.
