Start: Jul 7, 2025
End: Jul 8, 2025
Speaker: Brian Cusack, Science Craft
Dr. Brian Cusack comes from Cork, Ireland and received his Ph.D. in Genetics from Trinity College, Dublin in 2007. During his Ph.D. Brian received the kind of mentoring that he continues to consider as the gold-standard for graduate students. After completing his first postdoc at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, Brian conducted post-doctoral research in evolutionary genomics at the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin. In February 2012, together with Rick Scavetta, Brian co-founded Science Craft in Berlin. Since then Brian has provided high-level training workshops for more than a thousand researchers throughout Germany as well as in Norway and China.

Peer Review is the foundation of the scientific method, providing quality control for published research findings. Yet more than 95% of researchers receive no training in this essential skill, forcing them to learn, by trial and error, how to engage in peer review as authors and reviewers. Science Craft’s newest workshop is unique in filling this important skills-gap.

Participants Learn How To:

Understand and appreciate the roles of the author, reviewer and journal editor.
Select the best journal for their research and spark the interest of the editor with an engaging cover letter.
Respond comprehensively and courteously to the reviews.
Evaluate a research article and phrase criticism constructively.
Enhance their scientific reputations among journal editors by becoming better reviewers.
