My
experience
As a recently retired professor, I have extensive experience
both in teaching scientific writing and in writing and editing research papers.
Although my research expertise is in soil ecology and plant pathology, I can
understand and revise papers from nearly any scientific discipline; I know
this because the students in my course "Revising Scientific Prose"
came from many different majors, and I was always able to understand and edit
their papers.
