In My Own Words:
Thriving in academia, I am delaying my arrival into the real world. My hobbies include watching LOTS of movies (actor theme weeks, indie flicks, trashy eye-candy, etc.), finding ways to procrastinate (the gym and internet shopping seem to suffice at this time), and planning my retirement (my dream: Switzerland.

Things I love: my cats, body art, FOOD, stimulating conversation, cynical wit, and tall lanky boys with big noses.
Things I avoid: meat, earthworms, passive aggressive people with a victim complex, Conservatives/Republicans.

I read this book in one morning, and I instantly felt less apprehensive about writing my manuscript. Day writes in a reassuring, humorous tone, and the information is concise and easily applied. This book will help anyone write a manuscript, develop a poster, compose a literature review, and be an effective communicator. The appendices are a brilliant resource on abbreviations, common errors, and other useful information. And to the individual who stated that those with a background in English shouldn't advise for science: I have a B.A. in English literature, and am currently doing graduate work in the field of science. Hate to break it to you, buddy, but there isn't a formidable… Read more
