"This book is entertaining, easy to read, and unique. Alan Kelly
offers an understandable approach to writing science, making this
book a useful and understandable overview of the main forms of
scientific communication encountered at the undergraduate and
graduate levels." -- Angelika Hofmann, author of Scientific Writing
and Communication and Strategic Projects and Communications Advisor
at Yale University
"Alan Kelly's writing style is light and accessible, and his focus
on the scientific publication process makes this a unique and
worthwhile contribution to the field." -- Marin S. Robinson, author
of Write Like a Chemist and Professor of Environmental and Organic
Chemistry at Northern Arizona University
"Alan Kelly's How Scientists Communicate isn't just a 'how to'
book, although there is a lot of good advice in it; it's also an
interesting discussion of the history, evolution, logic, and ethics
of our communication media-papers, talks, and posters. He brings
long experience, deep insight, and a sense of humor to a book that
is worth reading regardless of where you are in your career." --
Joshua Schimel, author of Writing Science and
Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara
