Scientific Prose

[rebeccmeister]

Some days I dream that scientific prose will flow forth elegantly from my fingertips. In the meantime, I'll be writing some stuttering, babbling nonsense that may or may not have anything to do with ants, fungus, growth, and element ratios.

This proposal-writing business is difficult.

Thank you! Step 1 is getting at least SOMETHING down on paper. You can do it!

Maybe if you tell us about some of it here it will help.

Right now, the proposal is an 11-page document with figures, and I think it will benefit the most from a discussion with my advisor, which will happen this afternoon. But thanks for the suggestion.
