	Workshops on Scientific Writing for Psychology
I teach 1- and 4-day workshops on scientific writing in the US and around the world. These workshops include several lessons designed to help participants learn to write clearly, concisely, and gracefully. The workshop is highly interactive: each lesson is organized around a single theme (e.g., how to convey emphasis) in which heuristics are presented and participants practice those heuristics in an anonymous chat room.
