What is the proper role of AI ‘assistance’ in graduate student writing? It depends on what you mean by ‘graduate’.

The most cliched writing advice is also the best. The enemy of the writer is the blank page. Start writing, put something down, it doesn't have to be good or make sense or be cohesive or even be logical. But don't worry about all that, just start. Once you get going you can edit & fix. Just start.

Welcome to the #devbiolwriteclub Bluesky Boot Camp! I’ll be posting here regularly with thoughts and exercises to help scientists become better writers. Let’s start by managing expectations: I will NOT help you write better. I WILL help you become a better writer. 🧵 1/10

Good evening #devbiolwriteclub. We all know it's bad to drink alone, but here I am. What i am not doing alone, however, is writing. For that would violate #devbiolwriteclub Rule #5: You can't do it alone. 🧵 1/n

Here's your reminder that writing is a craft; working scientists need to practice it. I'm doing the work this evening. And oh yeah, the book is almost done! I'm writing about stem cells now. Stembryos next! (Alstadt lager and Old Overholt for those playing along at home). #devbiolwriteclub.

OK. Failed to do it yesterday, cuz too much to do. Did it today. While eating dinner. In btwn other responsibilities (job search stuff, trainee paper needing attention, working on a talk, travel).
Illustrates perfectly how one needs to do the work. Need to set time aside. Writing is our lifeblood.
