    Scientific communication is an integral part of a scientist's work and takes many forms. Written papers and oral presentations allow scientists to share their research findings with peers and stay up to date in their fields. Communication also includes drafting proposals, keeping lab notebooks, and using notations to organize ideas. Additionally, scientists are increasingly expected to communicate with broader audiences to increase public understanding of science. This unit aims to help scientists improve their English communication skills for various purposes and audiences through understanding communication fundamentals and applying strategies for different contexts.
