Reach your full potential in academia!

By reading the book Peer Recognized book series you will get a full toolkit for academic communication. You will learn how to write impactful research papers, deliver engaging presentations, write proposals that get funded, and use the internet to turn your name into a brand. In other words, Peer Recognized will show you how to “sell” your research to other scientists, reviewers, supervisors, grant agencies, journalists, job interviewers, and even to your grandmother.  

A successful researcher needs many tools under their belt for survival. Then, there are some tools that simply make life a little bit easier. Here I share tools and resources that I have personally tested and can recommend. 

In the Peer Recognized blog, I share advice on scientific writing, presenting, and online communication to help you build a successful academic career.
