How to Write Proposals that Get Funded and Papers that Get Cited: Story and Story Structure (The Strategy of Communication)

This –VIRTUAL– event is free for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as for faculty

This session will focus on story and story structure—the big picture. What are the key elements that frame your strategy for a piece? This emphasizes what Dr. Josh Schimel calls the “OCAR elements” of the Opening, Challenge, Action, and Resolution. If you nail these, you’re 70% of the way to an effective document.

and Ecosystem Ecology at the University of California, Santa Barbara
