???? Clear writing is powerful. As scientists, we’re not just producing data; we’re tasked with communicating complex ideas clearly and concisely to diverse audiences. In a recent piece, Dr. Brianna Traxinger, Ph.D., reflects on advice from her grad school mentor, Dr. Jai Lingappa, who taught her one pivotal lesson in scientific writing: If the reader doesn’t understand, it’s on the writer. This approach reminds us to anticipate misunderstandings and prioritize clarity. A powerful takeaway, especially in a field where misunderstood grant proposals or research papers can mean missed opportunities. If you’re in any field where you need to convey complex information—this advice applies to you, too. ??
