Research Profiles
Writing research profiles that effectively translate complicated science into content that engages, inspires and informs requires the ability to think in the reader’s shoes and write in plain language. What do readers likely already know? What terms will require more explanation? Writing strong research profiles also requires top-notch interview skills to ensure the content accurately describes what the researcher hopes to find, how they will make discoveries and the anticipated impact of future results.
