by Chris Tachibana | Mar 2, 2016

Screen Shot 2016-03-01 at 18.01.28Michelle Nijhuis (@nijhuism) knows how to write a great science article. In her new Kindle book, The Science Writers’ Essay Handbook: How to Craft Compelling True Stories in Any Medium, she tells us how it’s done. (A big thanks to the National Association of Science Writers, which provided a grant to support production of Michelle’s book.)
