current status and recommendations for the future of research teaching and testing in the Biological Sciences of radiation oncology report of the american society for radiation oncology cancer biology radiation biology task force executive summary
International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, 2014Co-Authors: Paul E Wallner, Mitchell S Anscher, Christopher A Barker, Michael F Bassetti, Robert G Bristow, Yong I Cha, Adam P Dicker, Silvia C Formenti, Edward E Graves, Stephen M HahnAbstract:In early 2011, a dialogue was initiated within the Board of Directors (BOD) of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) regarding the future of the basic Sciences of the specialty, primarily focused on the current state and potential future direction of basic research within radiation oncology. After consideration of the complexity of the issues involved and the precise nature of the undertaking, in August 2011, the BOD empanelled a Cancer Biology/Radiation Biology Task Force (TF). The TF was charged with developing an accurate snapshot of the current state of basic (preclinical) research in radiation oncology from the perspective of relevance to the modern clinical practice of radiation oncology as well as the education of our trainees and attending physicians in the Biological Sciences. The TF was further charged with making suggestions as to critical areas of Biological basic research investigation that might be most likely to maintain and build further the scientific foundation and vitality of radiation oncology as an independent and vibrant medical specialty. It was not within the scope of service of the TF to consider the quality of ongoing research efforts within the broader radiation oncology space, to presume to consider their future potential, or to discourage in any way the investigators committed to areas of interest other than those targeted. The TF charge specifically precluded consideration of research issues related to technology, physics, or clinical investigations. This document represents an Executive Summary of the Task Force report.

scientific writing made easy a step by step guide to undergraduate writing in the Biological Sciences
Bulletin of The Ecological Society of America, 2016Co-Authors: Sheela P Turbek, Taylor Chock, Kyle Donahue, Caroline A Havrilla, Angela M Oliverio, Stephanie K Polutchko, Lauren G Shoemaker, Lara VimercatiAbstract:Scientific writing, while an indispensable step of the scientific process, is often overlooked in undergraduate courses in favor of maximizing class time devoted to scientific concepts. However, the ability to effectively communicate research findings is crucial for success in the Biological Sciences. Graduate students are encouraged to publish early and often, and professional scientists are generally evaluated by the quantity of articles published and the number of citations those articles receive. It is therefore important that undergraduate students receive a solid foundation in scientific writing early in their academic careers. In order to increase the emphasis on effective writing in the classroom, we assembled a succinct step-by-Step guide to scientific writing that can be directly disseminated to undergraduates enrolled in Biological science courses. The guide breaks down the scientific writing process into easily digestible pieces, providing concrete examples that students can refer to when preparing a scientific manuscript or laboratory report. By increasing undergraduate exposure to the scientific writing process, we hope to better prepare undergraduates for graduate school and productive careers in the Biological Sciences.
