There are lots of books on science writing available and they take you painstakingly through every nuance of structure and detail required to produce a scientific manuscript. This book is different. It focuses on how to write a compelling story. I have 70 published papers in international, peer-reviewed journals; and I want to go back to each and every one of them and rewrite them with the messages from this book clear in my head and clear to the reader. This book focuses on you as a writer first and foremost, and a scientist second. It distills what I've been trying to teach my own students, with insight and clarity far more considered and polished than my own, in an engaging and fun read. If you want to write proposals that get funded, and papers that get widely-cited, then read this book and put its lessons to work. I loved the book: it's now the lab-group reading for next semester.
This book was much more useful than I thought it would be. My expectation was that it would contain some helpful pointers, but that it would not revolutionize my writing. Having nearly 30 papers/book chapters, more than 1000 citations, and some funded proposals under my belt already, I thought I had a decent grasp on scientific writing. This book helped me realize that I had a lot to learn - and then taught it to me! The best part about it is that it solidifies nebulous ideas about good and bad writing, and provides concrete ways to organize your writing, from the level of the whole paper down to individual sentences. Now I wish I could go back in time to rewrite all of my previous papers!Also, I was expecting this book to be helpful, but dry read, but was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it was. Who would have thought that a book on science writing would actually be entertaining and funny, while being reassuring at the same time? It really is an entertaining and easy read, though.I have already had all of my graduate students read this book, and have been talking about it incessantly at meetings. My postdoc has been doing the same thing - without any prompting from me. It has had a profound influence on the way the folks in my lab think about science writing, and has altered my perspective on writing forever. Be warned, however, that after you read this book you will want to start relentlessly editing all of the scientific writing you read.
I recently read this book as well as David Lindsay's Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words. Both are good, but of the two, Schimel's book is more complete, more nuanced, and more fun to read. His main focus is that, in order to be read, remembered, and cited, you must present your work as an interesting story. He explains the elements of storytelling as they relate to science writing, and how to employ those elements throughout your paper. Each chapter has examples throughout and exercises at the end.I recommend both Schimel's book and Lindsay's for anyone who has to write about scientific research. If you want to choose only one, Lindsay is quicker, but Schimel is better.
I can't say enough good things about this book. It is easily one of the most useful and valuable books that any scientist or academic could read. Off the top of my head, I can only think of The Craft of Research as comparable.Schimel examines the craft of writing like a molecular biologist, addressing both the component units (sentence, paragraph, section), and like a novelist, discussing the overall arc and purpose of your writing. It is barely 200 pages long, but remarkably comprehensive.It helps that the book draws heavily upon two books that I love: Joseph Williams' book on Style, and the Heath brothers' book Make It Stick. Two outstanding choices.What makes the book so useful is that Schimel doesn't just tell you what to do: he shows you. The worked examples, and the commentary on what makes the example good science writing, is just superb.It also helps that Schimel distinguishes between writing about research that you have already done, and writing about research that you hope to do. So this book is useful for grant writers and report writers.What makes the book so valuable is that Schimel a good deal of time dealing with one of the main challenges for beginning researchers: identifying and articulating exactly what it is you hope to learn from the (proposed) research.Chapter 20: Writing for the Public, where Schimel discusses the "message box", is worth the price of the book alone.Quite simply, this book should be handed out to every student in the natural and social sciences, the day they start school.
I love this book! The author, Joshua Schimel, is quite correct in asserting that science writing must go beyond getting everything technically correct to being a compelling story that grabs the reader's attention as to the significance of what has been found. That will move the writing toward getting published and toward being appreciated for its substance and value, as indicated by being cited. And it will move research proposals toward getting funded. So buy this book for excellent guidance and examples on how to write science in an engaging and effective manner that has impact on a broad audience rather than just narrow cliques. That said, though, writing research proposals that get funded requires more than compelling writing. That is certainly necessary, but not sufficient. More is required, such as a well-thought-out logic model, a detailed and appropriate budget, and a budget narrative that links the written narrative to resources and what can realistically be accomplished. So for the whole package on successfully writing research proposals, I recommend this book and Cynthia Carr's "The Nuts & Bolts of Grant Writing." Carr's book burrows into the real-life details of how to write proposals within college and university settings that will engage reviewers and improve the likelihood of getting funded. For successfully writing research proposals the two books complement each other well, and I recommend buying both.
