This event in English is open to the public free of charge. Registration will open soon.

Session overview: Great science deserves to be read—not buried under unclear writing. “Don’t Perish!” is a practical, high-energy lecture that strips away the mystery of scientific writing and focuses on what actually makes papers succeed: a strong storyline, logical structure, and clear messaging.

Participants will learn how to align discoveries with the biological question, organize results for maximum impact, and apply simple techniques that immediately improve readability. Ideal for first-time authors and experienced researchers alike.

Presenter: Sophien Kamoun is a Senior Scientist at The Sainsbury Laboratory and Professor of Biology at the University of East Anglia. Internationally recognized for pioneering work on plant diseases and immunity, he has developed genomics and molecular approaches that transformed understanding of eukaryotic plant pathogens and opened new paths to combat major crop diseases.

The event is part of the EU-funded ViroiDoc project's transferable skills training.
