Topic: “Precautionary principle in environmental decision-making”

Abstract

The precautionary principle is an approach in decision-making on issues considered uncertain and, therefore, in situations when the risk is involved. We will talk about this principle on an example of two environmental issues: DDT (insecticide) and nuclear energy hazards. The issue of DDT is an example of the situation when necessary actions that were not taken early enough led to some environmental problems. Nuclear Energy issue in the light of the Chernobyl and Fukushima catastrophes is still under public consideration.

Venue: 25 Lenina Street    Room 304

Trainer: Valeria Evdash

Abstract: 

While writing a research paper in English, scholars often aim to create a concise, clear, and coherent text that is grammatically correct. However, in the pursuit of grammar accuracy, scholars often neglect different ways of expressing ideas creatively to get these ideas stuck in the reader’s mind. This workshop will present some tips on how to make an academic text elegant. During the workshop, participants will be engaged in hands-on activities aimed at employing such techniques as coordination and parallelism that will add a flash of elegance to the text and enhance the reader’s interest in the paper.

Abstract: 

Today the vast majority of research papers are published in English. Would you like to publish your work in a high-ranking peer-reviewed English-language academic journal? If the answer is yes, you should know that many reviewers associate poor grammar with laziness and a lack of respect for the reader. In fact, grammatical errors may distract and confuse readers to the point where they will not finish reading your manuscript. This workshop will help improve your English writing skills by going over some common grammatical mistakes made by Russian academic writers.
