Join us for this exciting workshop to gain insights, knowledge, and the skills needed for you to effectively integrate Generative AI (GenAI) into your scientific writing process. Designed specifically for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the biomedical sciences, life sciences, and engineering, this session will explore how AI tools can support not only efficiency, but also reflection, learning, and growth as a writer.


Through hands-on examples and guided practice, you'll learn how to use GenAI to clarify your ideas, refine your arguments, and become more aware of your own writing patterns, all while maintaining your voice and academic integrity.


Workshop Goals:

  1. Understand the capabilities and limitations of GenAI tools in the context of scientific writing
  2. Learn strategies for using AI to support, not replace your thinking, drafting, and revision processes
  3. Identify ethical considerations and responsible use practices when incorporating AI into academic work
  4. Practice crafting effective prompts to generate useful feedback and strengthen your writing skills over time
