Also kicking off in February, we’ll have a 4-part series of workshops focused on writing skills, led by the ASU Writing Center.  This will include information on how to develop good writing habits, polish your writing and get published, as well as on writing groups and peer reviewThis series starts on February 18.

A variety of other topics will also be presented, including how to patent your research discoveries, an intro to the ASU Library system, and much more.  The Lunch and Learn schedule can always be found on the Postdoc Events page.  And don’t forget that recordings of past Lunch and Learns are available on the Postdoc Resources page
