S2. Ep8. Comparing Science Writing

We cover a lot of ground in this episode.While looking for an interesting research article to breakdown and analyze, we realized we had the opportunity to talk briefly about mental health, discuss some interesting findings on a recent clinical trail study of depression treatment, AND compare how scientific research writing differs from scientific journalism. We had a lot of fun with this topic, and hope that you can find something useful, be it learning how to better analyze writing structures, purposes, movements, or clarity, or ways to become a more critical reader and thinker.If you or someone you know from NMBU could benefit from mental health support services, please contact SiT:https://www.nmbu.no/en/students/guidance/health-care-and-councellinghttps://www.nmbu.no/en/students/student-information-centreEpisode ResourcesJAMA Research Article: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2772630ScienceNews.org Article: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/psilocybin-treat-depression-mushrooms-psychedelicThe Gunning-Fog Index: http://gunning-fog-index.comWriter's Diet Test: https://writersdiet.comScience Writing vs. Scientific Journalism Blog from Scientific American (2010): https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/the-line-between-science-and-journalism-is-getting-blurry-again/
