Kenyon Biomedical and Scientific Writing Program
The Kenyon Biomedical and Scientific Writing Program helps researchers develop their scientific writing skills and prepare a manuscript or proposal for publication or review by the end of the year by bringing together a supportive community of scientific writers at Nationwide Children's. It consists of a 2.5-day, in-person, residential writing workshop at Kenyon College in July and exclusive virtual workshops throughout the fall. Participants receive one-on-one feedback and learn to identify and correct common writing errors, craft compelling arguments, and set and achieve writing goals.
