Marlene Zuk on Tackling Writer’s Block (As a Scientist)
"Structure may help some scientists write, but it doesn’t address the root cause of the problem. I believe our writer’s block stems from the same place as that of other writers: it’s not a writing problem, it’s a thinking problem. Writing is thinking, which means that if you aren’t sure of what you want to say, you can’t write. But scientists don’t always recognize that connection."
