  21. Scientific Writing Workshop, 9am – 12 pm, ROSS I & II

  22. Led by Dr. Ted Hartwig (Professor Emeritus Texas A&M University Mechanical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering). This morning workshop has two main goals. Firstly, to provide the participants with a set of “tools” helping them to present their scientific results in a clear and interesting way and, secondly, to make them aware of various strategic issues connected to paper writing (in which journal to publish, proper cover letter to the editor, etc.). The participants are encouraged to bring drafts of own papers, or an abstract for at least one paper, but this is not a prerequisite.
