Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted.
Writing is thinking on paper.
When writing about science, don't simplify the science; simplify the writing.
Writing is a lot easier if you have something to say.
Good writing is clear thinking made visible.
A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.
Only the educated are free.
One`s work may be finished someday, but one`s education never.
What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Can your research paper be elegant?
The new year started with the workshop “Can your research paper be elegant?”
The workshop participants discussed if elegance could be applied to science and a research article, and they received some tips on how to make an academic text elegant.
The participants were engaged in hands-on writing activities aimed at employing such techniques as coordination and parallelism that add a flash of elegance to the text.
