How do you translate your research and experience into a coherent professional narrative that shows evidence of readiness (skills and record of achievement), mission alignment (how your goals connect with institutions or funders), and impact (why your work matters beyond your field)? In research and clinical fields, this narrative forms the foundation of your scientific identity: how peers, mentors, and evaluators perceive your development, contributions, and potential for future work. Designed for students currently engaged in or recently completing research, this course provides structured opportunities to practice communicating your own research through authentic professional materials. Through guest lectures from scientific professionals, guided exercises, peer feedback and individualized mentoring you’ll learn to articulate your professional identity across different formats—including your CV, personal statement, research summary, online presence, and public communication. By the end of the course, you will have strengthened your writing and communication skills and refined your scientific voice to better reflect your expertise and career aspirations.
