Stop wasting 80% of your time writing papers the hard way
Julia Koehler Leman, PhD
Scientific Communication Consultant, Computational Biologist, Mentor
I’m Julia—a scientist by training and longtime mentor who’s spent nearly two decades helping researchers like you communicate their work clearly and confidently. I started Communicate Your Science because I know how overwhelming it can be to figure things out on your own—and how much easier it gets when someone shows you how.

Research in academia can be fun and difficult, both at the same time. But if you assume that you'll learn everything you need to be successful in grad school or afterwards, you're dead wrong. Sorry to break it to you.
Most of the time, you'll be expected to pick up things on your own.
Things like writing papers, giving talks, and presenting posters - the stuff that will make or break your career afterwards.
And if you're overwhelmed with too many projects, not sure what to focus on, your motivation is going downhill, and your advisor isn't available as much as you'd like, then you know what I'm talking about!
