Toledo Blade
With the help of Dr. Kandace Williams, students in the Biomedical Science program have been publishing articles in the science and health section of the Toledo Blade. On the first Monday of every month, a student gets to share their research with the greater Toledo community. To participate in this initiative, please go through the following section.
Details
To get your research story published, you will need,
- To contact Dr. Williams to book your spot for the next available date.
- An article of ~700-750 words, with your photo included (your byline).
- A photo (at least 300 dpi - high resolution ); the COMLS media specialist will take your photo in your lab with your lab coat on (or in the computer lab if you work in a dry lab).
Students need to focus on keeping the article and images for lay audience, most of whom may not have higher than a high school education and no science background (which means, no acronyms and avoiding jargon)
Remember, you are telling a story, not writing a scientific article. It is always good to use metaphors and analogies
Submit articles or direct any questions to Dr. Williams (Kandace.Williams@utoledo.edu).
This is a great way to connect with the local public to let them know some good news about UT, and for all of us to get experience with writing.
