<br>
We wanted to pass along information from the Writing and
Communication Center about this very important resource. MIT
postdocs are again able to use these services; please see the
details below.<br>

The Writing and Communication Center (12-132) offers free
individual consultation about any writing difficulty, from
questions about grammar to matters of style, including
difficulties common to writers, such as overcoming writer’s
block, organizing papers, revising one’s work, or presenting
scientific and technical information. The Center’s professional
lecturers help with theses, articles and books for publication,
conference presentations, teaching and research statements, CVs,
applications, course papers, slides, and oral presentation
skills (how to write a speech, how to use visual aids, how to
conduct oneself when presenting scientific or nonscientific
information). Clients may visit the Center during any stage of
the writing process: prewriting, writing a first draft,
revising, or editing. The Center is a teaching institution; it
is not a proofreading service. The Center aims to teach writing
as a process, to clarify and promote techniques of good writing.
The Center provides specialized help to those for whom English
is a second language. All appointments are made online. Go to
the Center’s website
