Welcome to MiSciWriters!
We are a graduate student organization at the University of Michigan whose goal is to train fellow graduate students & post-doctoral fellows in science writing and editing.
Science communication has always been important, but more recently it is stepping into the spotlight with more academics either leaving the bench or being involved with their communities more while remaining a researcher. We can help you regardless! By practicing your writing and editing skills, you’ll gain experience that’ll help write grants, give public talks, or write journalism articles all while meeting and networking with like-minded and interested sci-commers in the community.
MiSciWriters 10 Year Anniversary – this fall!
As our tenth anniversary approaches, we are excited to invite MiSciWriters alumni to some special upcoming events this fall! We’re reaching out to our amazing alumni community with two fantastic opportunities:
- Career Chats: Each month we’ll host virtual career hours where alumni can share their expertise, experiences, and insights with current members. If you’re willing to dedicate one virtual hour of your time to help guide the next generation of MiSciWriters, we’d be thrilled to have you!
- 10-Year Anniversary Celebration: We’re planning a memorable celebration to mark this significant milestone, and we’d love for you to be a part of it. Whether you’d like to participate in a panel discussion, share your journey, or help us celebrate in other ways, we would be honored to have your presence!
If you’re interested in volunteering for either (or both!) of these events, please email us at misciwriters.leaders@umich.edu.
Check out the Blog page to read our articles (where a few & increasing number have been translated into Spanish).
To learn more about science writing, we have a bunch of resources and outline our editorial strategy here. We welcome any level of writer, so we hope that you reach out!
The inaugural edition of our STEAM magazine, equilibriUM, is now available! Click here to read! We are now accepting pitches for EquilibriUM Edition 4: Everyday Wonders!
We are generously sponsored by the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop grant. Our published magazine has various departmental sponsors, which can be found here.
