Writing is a fundamental part of a scientist’s job, but strategies for writing efficiently are rarely taught. As a result, scientists often struggle with writing, especially with the practical steps of the writing process, such as how to get started. This session begins with tips for increasing writing productivity, with a focus on making writing part of your workday. These tips are designed to make writing easier and to help participants write more quickly and efficiently.

One of the most successful strategies for increasing writing productivity is to join a writing accountability group. Participants will learn about different writing accountability group opportunities available to UMB faculty, fellows, and postdocs.

Speakers: Marey Shriver, PhD, executive director for faculty development, Center for Advanced Research Training and Innovation (CARTI), and Stacie Mendoza, program director, CARTI
