Presenting Science Concisely

“An enormously useful book for students in the sciences, their faculty mentors and supervisors, and communication center practitioners. Written in a style that is both conversational and knowledgeably detailed, the book urges the scientific community to tell its stories better.” – Laura A Stengrim * Communication Center Journal 7(1) *“Presenting Science Concisely by Dr. Bruce Kirchoff is a great resource for any scientists who want to better communicate their latest research findings and efforts to the general public. The book offers a detailed, yet digestible, overview of how to talk about your research in a way that is relevant to the everyday lives of readers” * Fancy Comma *“The book is pitched at a broad scientific audience, and researchers at any stage of their career would have something to gain from reading it. Readers who would benefit most from Kirchoff’s book, however, would be advanced students and early career researchers who are starting to dip their toes into presenting their work to public audiences.” – Ryan P. O’Donnell * Australasian Systematic Botany Society Newsletter, *
