Two-day workshop on Scientific Writing and Bioethics at JNU, New Delhi

School of Life Sciences is organising a two-day workshop

on

Scientific Writing and Bioethics

20-21^st September 2012

at

 Auditorium, School of Life Sciences

 About: Scientific writing is an integral part of the research profession. All forms of scientific journalism needs to be carefully manuscripted when it comes to ethics and precise reporting, but this makes them monotonous and boring and, therefore, difficult to retain in memory. The workshop will provide an insight to the audiences and the participants on 'how to make scientific writing ethical and easy to grasp' at the same time. Eminent speakers from some of the best institutes of the nation are here to share some of their best views and experiences on "Scientific writing and Bioethics".

Confirmed panel of speakers:

1. Prof. Sunil Mukhi, TIFR, Mumbai.
2. Prof. Rahul Siddharthan, IMSc, Chennai.
3. Dr. D.P Kasbekar, CCMB, Hyderabad.
4. Dr. Geoff Hyde, NCBS, Bangalore.
5. Mr. Yateendra Joshi, Cactus Communications, Mumbai.
6. Mr. M.V. Shiju, TERI University, New Delhi.
