Scientific and Technical Writing in the Brussels Bubble

Most scientific and technical writing in Brussels is pretty dire.

It need not be.

There are plenty of examples of good technical writing hiding in plain site.

I like Discover Magazine, New Scientist, and the Economist.

This is a good example explaining some recent research on microplastics.

If you really know your issue well, you can explain it clearly and in plain words. Here is a good example by Michio Kaku.

Of course, you may opt to confuse people. Then you should revert  to  obtuse writing and make sure it can only understood by 4 post-docs presenting on the same panel.

The big issue is finding a good writer. I’d try find a former staff writer for Discover magazine.
