How to increase your creativity in scientific writing, while preventing writer’s block

A talk with Prof. Amos Bouskila, Dept. of Life Sciences, Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev. Thursday 19th of November, 2020, 14:00-15:30. The duration of the presentation will be one hour and a quarter, including time for questions at the end
We will learn stages in a simple technique that enables us to write a thesis, a proposal, or an article with continuity and enthusiasm. The use of the suggested stages will allow you to express your creativity, even if you were sure that creativity is not one of your strengths. With this technique, you will be able to prevent one of the most frustrating feelings in the life of a scientist - writer’s block. The presentation is based on a workshop in which I participated as a graduate student in California. It revolutionized my writing of the thesis, and since then, many generations of my students have benefited from it. My former students tell me the technique keeps helping them loyally, ever since they were exposed to it, during all types of writing tasks they encounter in their professional life.
Amos Bouskila studied his first and second degrees at the Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem. During the work on his MSc, he established and was the first director of the Israel Reptile Information Center that was supported by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. In 1988 he started his PhD in Ecology at the Univ. of California, Davis, and went on to do a post-doc in Vancouver. He studied the use of Game Theory to understand the relationships between predators and prey in natural systems and went on in this direction when he accepted the position at Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev in 1994. He studies now behavioral ecology, reptiles, and their conservation and social networks in Equids who live in the wild.
