Are you writing or preparing to write a manuscript? Would you like help organizing your ideas, some writing tips, help with figures, moral support?

If so, this course is for you!

This six-session course combines short lectures on writing or design principles, in-class editing exercises, weekly assignments, and regular feedback. The course is offered in hybrid format, but in-person attendance is greatly encouraged.

You’ll benefit most from the course if you’re writing a manuscript. You don’t need to have a complete draft, but you should at least have assembled most of your figures and know the main points your paper will make. If you’re not writing yet, you can still attend the course and use a poster or a slide presentation as your starting material.

This course is open to all Gladstone and UCSF graduate students and postdocs. Contact Françoise Chanut if you have any questions before registering.

Design Lab Session

As part of the spring Nuts and Bolts series, Gladstone’s Scientific Illustrator Tami Tolpa will lead one session where you’ll learn design principles that will take your publication figures to a more professional level. Register for the course to get access to this workshop where you’ll learn about:

  • Design principles that will make your data easy to understand
  • How to organize multiple panels in Adobe Illustrator
  • Color choices, color-blindness considerations, and saving color palettes
  • When to use bitmap versus vector elements
  • Linking versus embedding microscopy
  • And much more!
