Chris Thaiss Publishes Textbook on Science Writing

Broadview Press has published (August 2019) Professor Emeritus Chris Thaiss's new textbook, Writing Science in the Twenty-First Century. Based on his years of teaching science writing to STEM majors at UC Davis, the book, along with its companion website, is directed both to STEM students in courses like those taught in the UWP and to students, undergraduate and graduate, fulfilling writing assignments in STEM courses across disciplines. It also addresses practicing researchers who more and more need to write for a range of readers, from fellow researchers to potential funders to citizen scientists to all those who can use scientific knowledge to make better informed decisions.
