Writing in Science series: Writing for a specified STEM audience
Microsoft Teams

This workshop is tailored to PGRs in the STEM disciplines. STEM is an academic term that refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - and includes disciplines in the life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and the health sciences.

In this session, we consider how the concept of ’audience’ and context shapes a piece of writing within STEM disciplines. We will ‘unpack’ the different types of reader who will be engaging with our writing during our doctoral studies and will encounter some useful strategies for meeting the needs of these reader through effective written style, textual organisation and ‘positioning’. This session places emphasis on the ability to be an adaptable writer, able to develop a formal, professional style when communicating scientific information. The workshop will be of particular interest to researchers who are at an early or mid-way stage in their project work.

Communicating with your Supervisor (PhD in 2nd Language series)
Microsoft Teams

our supervisor can be the most valuable resource you have during your PhD. A mentor and advisor that helps to manage your project and keep you on track, and a sounding board for your new ideas and thoughts. Knowing how to communicate and foster this relationship is crucial for your research to develop. In this session we will discuss common difficulties second language speakers might face when conversing with their supervisors. The session offers a supportive and safe environment for challenges to be shared. We will also strategically plan ways to navigate such challenges with the aim to improve the communication with your supervisor.

A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so. The ‘PhD in a second language’ series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking; reading and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking research in the UK; the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time. The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD alumni and lecturer who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English word.
