Want a free taster of our new book: "Scientific Papers Made Easy"? The chapter on writing 'Titles' has been published online as OUP Publishing Guidance:
academic.oup.com/book/45619/… @queensoxbiology
"I know of no other book dealing with the basics of
scientific writing as cleanly and as directly
as this one does." 👏👏👏 Right on! Don't miss this new guide from @StuWest8, Lindsay Turnbull, and @ouplifesciences
I reviewed @StuWest8 & Lindsay Turnbull's new book, 'Scientific Papers Made Easy', for @ScienceMagazine
The book has a clear focus on doing the basics really well. It's targeted at new, junior scientists but frankly most senior people would benefit too

My book is published today! In celebration, here is a random tsunami photo - me in a trench on N. Chile. A wonderful site with more tsunami deposits than I care to mention. Thanks to all my Chilean colleagues for years of discovery!
