Eloquent Science evolved from a workshop aimed at offering atmospheric science students
formal guidance in communications, tailored for their eventual scientific careers.
Drawing on advice from over twenty books and hundreds of other sources, this volume
presents informative and often humorous tips for writing scientific journal articles,
while also providing a peek behind the curtain into the operations of editorial boards
and publishers of major journals. The volume focuses on writing, reviewing, and speaking
and is aimed at the domain of the student or scientist at the start of her career.
The volume offers tips on poster presentations, media communication, and advice for
non-native speakers of English, as well as appendices on proper punctuation usage
and commonly misunderstood meteorological concepts. A further reading section at the
end of each chapter suggests additional sources for the interested reader, and sidebars
written by experts in the field offer diverse viewpoints on reference topics.--Résumé
