Three resources to help manage the overwhelm of getting started on a new research project. Something to manage all there is to keep track of, something to manage all there is to read, and something to manage the interpersonal stuff.
Thesis almost done? YAY!!
But how do you know your ideas will actually make sense to your marker, who probably knows nothing at all about your research area. Run your draft through these 6 quick self-check tests (all you need is a highlighter and Ctrl-F) to make sure you're holding your reader's hand, not assuming they know everything you do, and making your argument easy to follow from start to finish.
This document is 48 things you wish someone had told you sooner. A no-nonsense guide that cuts through the fog of academic writing with practical, hard-won advice on words, sentences, structure, and everything in between. Whether you're wrestling with a thesis, a proposal, or your first uni assignment, these tips will make your writing clearer, sharper, and a whole lot kinder to your reader.

Tempted to ask Claude or chatGPT to give you feedback on your thesis draft?
This prompt will keep them in check. Left to themselves, these tools do your thinking for you. They rewrite your sentences and invent citations that sound right. This prompt sets the rules before you paste your draft in. It will ensure that the GenAI doesn’t touch your wording or name references for you; It will make Claude point you in the right direction, but not find literature for you. It will make chatGPT less likely to hand you answers, and will set up the session so that your GenAI tool expects you to argue back rather than nod along.
You get a robot reader that shows you where your argument is thin, without doing the work for you.
Open Science + Good Writing
What good is open science if no one can understand the paper? At lab meeting this week, we will talk about why scientific writing has become so difficult to read and how you can write in a way that makes your thesis clear, compelling, and memorable.
