I've seen students use AI writing tools to help them "write in the style of a scientific paper". And the AI tools are really good at that - too good. A better idea? Use them to help *avoid* the thickets of jargon and swamps of tedium that typify our literature! scientistseessquirre... 🧪
Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.
The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Don't you wish your department/university did more to help grad students learn to write? Teaching writing is hard, but students are eager to learn.
I can help! I can teach a one-week intensive course for you. Details here: scientistseessquirre.... Get in touch!
