> Write Clearly: Write to be Understood, Tony Greenfield, 28-29 January 2008
> Do you write about your work to show how clever you are? Or do you write
> about your work because you want to tell people about something that will
> interest them, and perhaps help them? Do you write only for academic
> journals in your own discipline, or do you write for the wider population
> of scientists and engineers, or even for the general population? In this
> hands-on workshop we shall discuss the writing of research work for
> different media and for different readerships. It provides the opportunity
> to discuss and develop your current work, as delegates are encouraged to
> send in or bring along a current article to work on with the presenter.

> non-statistical issues that can undermine effective consultancy.
