Rough cut section:
Understanding the Genres of Neuroscience: Tips for Beginners
In the competitive community of science and research, it is
crucial to understand the platforms and genres in which researchers publish
their work. Specifically, in the field of neuroscience. While it would be worth
while to familiarize yourself with all the possible genres available, the three
most important and widely used genres today are power point presentations and
scientific journal publications.
These genres are essential in the advancement of your
career. After interviewing Dr. Nighorn and Dr. Tolbert from the University of
Arizona Neuroscience and Cognitive Science department, I learned some of the
secrets of publication they had been using for decades.
There are two dominating reasons why power point
presentations and scientific journals are the most prevalent genres in
neuroscience. Thinking about the many years of science carried out before the
age of the internet, paper publication was the most effective way for a
scientist to share his or her findings. Since we live in a capitalistic
society, naturally certain journals gained more popularity and rose to the top.

neuroscientist’s career. After interviewing veterans Dr. Nighorn and Dr.
Tolbert from the University of Arizona Neuroscience and Cognitive Science
department, I learned some of the secrets of publication they had been using

There are two dominating reasons why power point presentations
and scientific journals are the most prevalent genres in neuroscience:
1.
Stubborn

2.
Intimacy
in a presentation
The only real content changes I made were very minor. This was something I focused a lot on when I was making my rough cut so I had already edited it a lot to begin with. After breaking up the text and adding pictures, I did change a few sentences around, but nothing too major.
Form was the biggest thing I worked on when revising my rough cut. I needed to add a lot more graphics and appealing text. In my re-edited version, for this section, I added the two pictures of my interviewees and made my "two dominating reason" stand out more with color and size.
