Communicating Science: A Practical Guide PDF

There are many books on the market catering to the needs of graduates, postgraduates, and young professionals filled with well-intended advice - rarely do you come across one, though, that reflects wisdom and dignity as does this precious little booklet written by a seasoned, experienced, and broadly knowledgeable fellow scientist, true gentleman, and fun-to-read author - who knows what he is talking about from life-long experience.

Anything from body language, speech delivery, taking the floor ... editing, teleconference, press release, conference report ... name it, he's got it! And what's particularly nice is that each issue appears like a little snippet of less than two pages ... exciting, often surprising, and every bit true!

It's a book of advice and wisdom that helps you reflect those situations that you are not so sure of, because you're going to be facing them for the first time in your professional career. Nobody told you what's important, because most of your teachers were so tied up in their everyday science that you never had a chance to think, talk, or ask about what's really important when it comes to "selling" it to others. Communication is everything! Bringing it across efficiently will determine your career ... true, it's an art, and requires intuition. And not all of us are fortunate enough to draw on an admired personal mentor to lead us along... so it's going to be learning by doing, your own experience. But well-presented advice can tip you off ... and does help. Here it is! Enjoy!

Theodor C. H. Cole, Heidelberg
