""Write, Present, Create: Science Communication for Undergraduates" helps non-science major students successfully complete papers, presentations, and new media projects in undergraduate science courses. This guide will help students create original work that is scientifically robust in content and structure, and encourage them to support their ideas with the best available scientific evidence. This short, focused guide addresses multiple aspects of communicating in the sciences with an emphasis on biology and environmental science. Students learn to effectively identify and use reputable sources including those found online. They also learn how to organize their research, plan projects, correctly cite sources, and self-edit. The chapter on presentations details how to create a powerful slide deck and offers tips for an engaging delivery. This new edition offers suggestions on creating high quality videos and animations, as well as maximizing study time in and out of the classroom. By providing easy to read, easy to use guidance on creating scientifically sound work, "Write, Present, Create" eliminates the anxiety many non-majors feel in required science courses. The book is specifically designed for undergraduate students taking general education science courses in a college, university, or advanced placement setting. Mary Poffenroth earned her M.S. in conservation biology at San Jose State University where she is now a lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences. She is also the creator of an outdoor, environmental student volunteer program through which over 3,500 students have volunteered over 14,000 work hours to local and environmental non-profit organizations. She was one of fifteen faculty members to receive a Salzburg Fellowship in 2013 to help promote globalization on the university campus and has created written and visual work for media outlets such as Science and John Wiley & Sons."

A guide to understanding everyday fears that hold us back-such as anxiety and stress-and step-by-step instructions for building a practice to manage them for a fuller, happier life.In Your Courageous Mind, we learn that by understanding and recognizing our fears we can master them. Written by Mary Poffenroth, PhD, a scientist and fear expert who has spent her career studying fear and teaching courage, this book could not be more timely. The mental health crisis is upon us. Anxiety rates have increased threefold since 2019; rates of depression have grown fourfold. Underlying this growth is a common factor: fear. Not fight-or-flight fear, but the kind of pervasive everyday fears triggered by problems and issues in the world around us, like climate change, pandemics, and wars that often manifest as depression, melancholy, anxiety, and stress. And others that have been around for a lot longer, including the fear of failure or not fitting in. Because we're not adapted to managing these lingering fears we do it all wrong, allowing them to damage us physically and emotionally, which keeps us from living fully functioning, happy lives. In Your Courageous Mind, Poffenroth takes on a physiological and mental journey through fear, mixing in her personal stories about overcoming her own fears, while providing readers with a large selection of tools, or "neurohacks," so they can begin to manage their own.
