Abstract
A dislike of writing, sometimes bordering on a phobia, seems to be a common experience for many science students and indeed practising scientists. This represents a serious challenge, as regular publication is a key requirement for most areas of research. In seeking to understand the origins of this aversion, a few interesting findings have arisen. First, there are some crucial differences between technical and creative writing, but these are rarely highlighted as part of either high school or university science courses. Second, there are surprisingly few degree courses in which the scientific method is introduced and discussed explicitly. In this talk, strategies for addressing these deficiencies and taking the pain out of report and paper writing will be discussed.
