Description

This episode is all about persistent myths about writing scientific research papers and why they aren’t true.
I think this is a very important topic because holding one of these wrong beliefs could be what’s keeping you from enjoying writing papers and being good at it.

Whether you’re a native or non-native English speaker, or you’ve never used storytelling in your writing, or maybe you’re convinced that writing is slow and frustrating for everyone, join me while I break down these 5 common myths about writing research papers.

In this episode, I cover:
(02:10 ) Introducing the myths
(03:15 ) Myth #1: Need to be a native English speaker
(07:35 ) Myth #2: Storytelling covers up holes in your research
(10:20 ) Myth #3: Using fancy and complicated phrases and sentence structures
(14:00 ) Myth #4: It’s enough to hire someone to proof-read and clean up your paper
(19:13 ) Myth #5: Writing just is a slow and frustrating process
