  Hello Professor Asskaryar
  
  I don’t know if you had a reply to your request for a science writer to edit your research manuscript (your posting on the Canadian Science Writers’ Association dates back eight months). In case you are still looking, I specialize in editing journal articles and research funding applications. I cannot attach my resume to this message, but if you are interested, please get in touch with me at alpha@sylvianeduval.ca to ask for more details.
  
  Thank you for your interest
  Sylviane

I was just wondering how well respected the U of C(algary) professional writing certificate programs are. The Science Writing course included in the programs is mentioned as a resource here. Do you think it would be worth pursuing? I am looking to upgrade and would like to look into reputable online courses.

Any input appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. these resources were very helpful. However, some of the links are dead. (Eg. Science Communication Courses, St. Mary’s University Halifax). Please update.
