The Elements for Communicating Science and Technology
Stephanie Roberson Barnard and Deborah St James
Even the best ideas have little value if they are not explained clearly, concisely, and convincingly to others. Scientists, engineers, health care professionals, and technology specialists become leaders in their fields not just by way of discovery, but by communication. In this essential book, two seasoned communication consultants offer specific, focused advice to help professionals develop, improve, and polish their interpersonal communication, writing, and presentation skills. The authors explain exactly how to manage multiple projects and interactions, collaborate with colleagues and others, gain support for ideas through presentations and proposals, and much more.

This is an essential read for everyone in the profession of pharmacy (students, faculty, practitioners) who desire to communicate more effectively."—Alan Hanson, University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy
"Information Technology offers a global pool of talented professionals or “geeks.” The definition of “geek” perhaps is an IT professional who has not had the benefit of this insightful book on how to make the transformation. Seasoned veteran or beginner, the book is a great read!"—Tom Conway, Vice President, IBM Global Technology Services
