Workshop: "Scientific writing in the age of AI"

AI is changing the way scientists think about writing and most journals now have guidelines for how to use it. The scientific writing workshop focuses on developing high-quality scientific communication skills, emphasizing the structure of sentences, paragraphs, abstracts, and entire papers, while integrating guidance on responsible AI use in accordance with evolving journal policies. Through interactive sessions, practical exercises, and insights into the publication process, participants learn to craft manuscripts suitable for top-tier journals, with a particular emphasis on effective prompt engineering and ethical AI application.
