Epi Writing Camp I: Findings, Story, Submission

2 Credits.

Offers short examples, guided writing, and structured peer/instructor feedback where students will work on their own project or a provided dataset. Focuses on the essentials of clear, efficient scientific writing: journal fit, aligning the story with your analyses, numerically consistent text/tables/figures, concise Methods/Results, effective abstracts, and revision/response-to-review. Covers the responsible, effective use of AI for outlining, clarity edits, and consistency checks. Emphasizes this format output: brief mini-lectures paired with writing blocks and an optional afternoon bootcamp for those aiming to finish a manuscript (students should enter with a research question and either preliminary outputs or a plan; those without results will build a complete scaffold.)
