Nanocourse

Lecturer:
Dr. Rafael E. Luna
Instructor at Harvard Medical School and
author, The Art of Scientific Storytelling

This interactive nanocourse provides instruction on how to write a scientific manuscript using the structural aspects of storytelling, i.e. dramatic arc. We will explore the logic of narrative craft and adapt it to writing a scientific manuscript. Dr. Luna will introduce his Scientific Storytelling method for writing research manuscripts. During the first session, instruction will be provided on the implementation of the Scientific Storytelling method into the basic components of a research manuscript: Title, Abstract, Figures, Results, Introduction, and Discussion. Registered students will then apply these concepts towards writing a title and an abstract for their own research, which will be critiqued and revised during the second and third sessions. Registered students must attend all three sessions and write and revise a title and abstract (see assignment) to receive credit for this course.
