Scientific Writing

During the summer of 2020 Prof.  MacLeod and Dr. Jacquie Drake co-taught an intensive, three-phase, short course in scientific writing online, under the auspices of Nanjing University's Deep-time Digital Earth (DDE) program, to a class of over 100 undergraduate and graduate earth science students from across China. The course was given entirely in English and focused on  the skills, processes, conventions, and technologies used in writing, proofreading/polishing, submitting and publishing a peer-reviewed scientific article in a western earth science journal. The resources included in this archive are Prof. MacLeod's lecture slides.
