Study and Communication Skills for the Biosciences is tailored specifically to the needs of bioscience students, both at university, and beyond. Written in an engaging and supportive manner, with examples throughout that demonstrate the relevance of topics covered to bioscience degree programmes, the book will assist you with the transition from school to university, with your studies at university, and with your progression to employment after leaving university. New to this edition, the book now includes discussion of how best to use recorded lectures in learning and revision, and how to get the most out of flipped classrooms and interactive lectures.. The chapter on employability has new content on technological change in the workplace, how to perform well in a video interview, and how best to use online networks for career advancement. A new section also explores how to critically review a research paper. A new learning feature, 'Try this for yourself', shows how you can apply the book's principles to your own life and studies. Covering the full range of study and communication skills that you need to study to succeed in your studies, this book is essential reading for any bioscience student who wants to get the most out of their degree.

"One of the universal roles of an educator is to convey to students the necessary study and communication skills, whether in science or in arts and humanities. This book addresses these key skills as a manual for students through their course and as preparation to enhance their attractiveness to employers." - John R. Helliwell, University of Manchester, J. Appl. Cryst. (2019). 52, 492494

"The examples are from bioscience, such as measuring the leap distances of a laboratory population of locusts or migratory behaviours of geese, but are readily understandable for all." - John R. Helliwell, University of Manchester, J. Appl. Cryst. (2019). 52, 492494

"Overall this is a very good book and I recommend it to students across many subjects, not only biosciences. I liked this book and indeed wished I had had such a book when I was a student." - John R. Helliwell, University of Manchester, J. Appl. Cryst. (2019). 52, 492494
