Scientific writing

Abstracts, papers, theses and grant narratives.

    Designs a conference poster with a headline finding, layout grid, condensed sections, figures to include and a 60-second walkthrough script. For researchers presenting at conferences.

  • Write a paper abstract

    Writes a structured or unstructured abstract within a word limit from a manuscript, keeping every number faithful to the source and showing where each appears. Use before submission.

  • Science communicator

    Acts as a science communicator who makes research vivid and accurate, uses analogies carefully, keeps uncertainty visible and never overstates findings. For researchers, journalists and educators.

  • Thesis advisor

    Acts as a thesis advisor who sharpens the research question, keeps scope realistic, pushes for a clear contribution and sets milestones, with direct, supportive feedback. For graduate students.

  • Explain research to the public

    Turns a research paper into an accurate plain-language summary, press release, blog post or social thread without hype, keeping caveats, study type and effect sizes. Use for science communication.

  • Plan a thesis structure

    Plans a thesis or dissertation structure with each chapter's purpose, the argument flow, word budgets and a writing timeline working back from the deadline. For graduate students.

  • Write a discussion section

    Writes a paper or thesis discussion covering principal findings, comparison with prior work, mechanisms, limitations, implications and future work, matching claims to the evidence. For authors.

  • Write a research proposal

    Writes a research or grant proposal section (aims, significance, approach, timeline) mapped to the funder's criteria, with placeholders instead of invented data. Use for grant or thesis proposals.

  • Format citations in a reference style

    Converts references to APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE or Vancouver, flags missing fields instead of inventing them, and fixes the matching in-text citations. For students and researchers.

  • Grant proposal track

    Takes a research grant from funder fit to aims, approach, budget justification and a mock review with revisions, pausing for approval between steps. For researchers applying for funding.

  • Write a journal submission cover letter

  • Write a replicable methods section

    Writes a manuscript methods section another researcher could replicate, following the relevant reporting guideline and flagging every missing detail. For authors drafting a paper or thesis.
