What is scientific writing?
Scientific writing is a broad discipline that involves the formation and publication of knowledge that deals with any aspect of the natural world. There are many types of scientific writers, including medical, regulatory, publication, continuing education, grant, popular, and promotional writers. While they have their own niche, all scientific writers follow the same core principles and have a relevant background to the field they are writing about.
Why is scientific writing important?
With more and more people being fed misinformation, scientific writing is becoming especially more significant with each passing day. Scientific writers are responsible for taking big ideas and making them comprehensible for the target audience - whether that's other scientists, journalists, healthcare professionals, patients, or the general population - being able to convey complex information in an easy way is a vital skill.
