The Biomedical Writer: What You Need to Succeed in Academic Medicine Paperback – 5 April 2018

Yellowlees Douglas . Cambridge University Press . English

Co-authored by a leading ophthalmology researcher and a professor with fifteen years of experience teaching writing in the biomedical sciences, The Biomedical Writer addresses ways to use psychology and neuroscience to equip researchers and clinicians with an understanding of how effects like priming, primacy, recency, framing, and apparent paradoxes can make or break your articles and grant proposals. The Biomedical Writer covers everything from making sentences readable, effective, and memorable to working with collaborators under unforgiving deadlines. Going far beyond the basic structure and content of manuscripts and proposals, this guide to writing in biomedicine also focuses on topics that include handling negative results and the most important and neglected step in submitting manuscripts to journals.

About the Author

Yellowlees Douglas has actually checked all the boxes for teaching writing: eight years as an English professor dedicated exclusively to teaching writing, a short story in the Norton Anthology of Post Modern American Fiction, and a doctorate in reading and writing in multi-media environments. She has also conducted extensive research on the reading brain and its implications for teaching writing in virtually every discipline—from anthropology to neurosurgery and management. In addition, she road-tested her easy-to-follow principles with publications in nearly two dozen disciplines, including sociology, organizational behavior, computer science engineering, ophthalmology, and genetics. In addition, she puts her principles to work in advertising, marketing, and PR for an array of Fortune 500 clients.
