Towards a Brighter Tomorrow
Student essays from the 2021 WISE FoPM Graduate Program Course “Scientific Writing, Publication, and Communication”
Our world currently faces a number of major challenges that threaten the future of humankind and people from a wide range of scientific and non-scientific backgrounds must share their skills and knowledge to develop innovative solutions to these issues. In this course, graduate students in the sciences at The University of Tokyo wrote essays to inspire scientists and non-scientists alike to engage with a scientific discovery that they believe has the potential to contribute to a brighter tomorrow. Their writing was refined by an innovative open science peer review process under the tutelage of instructors Drs. Kate Harris, Mark Vagins, and Charles Yokoyama. Please enjoy exploring and reading them.
