    Scientific communication is central to the progress of science and to the advancement of one’s professional careers. Presenting findings at a scientific meeting provides visibility and an opportunity for feedback， whereas publishing in a scientific journal disseminates findings widely and provides the gold standard for evaluating productivity. This workshop will provide step-by-step instruction on presenting and publishing research. And it will also highlight the decisions associated with doing so responsibly， including decisions about who should be an author， the use of previous work while avoiding plagiarism， and how to present data faithfully. The workshop will include breakout sessions during which participants will have an opportunity to get feedback on oral and written presentations and engage in practical exercises built on specific case studies related to ethics in scientific publication. The workshop will also feature a module for faculty on how to integrate teaching on research ethics into graduate school training.
    
    Audience:Although the number of people who can be accommodated is limited， applications are invited from any neuroscience graduate student， postdoc， and faculty.
