“The best course I’ve had since college… Scientists sorely need instruction of this kind, whether they try to write for the public or only for their peers.
Every department at every institution should have this kind of course, and the organizers of this first pass did a fantastic job.”
– Jacqueline Gotteib, Kavli Institute of Brain Science, Columbia University
