The Narrative Gym for Science Graduate Students and Postdocs: Using the ABT Framework for Proposals, Papers, Presentations, and Life in General
£4.70
What is the ABT? Only the most important communications tool you’ll ever need. It provides the core of narrative structure, which is what makes the difference between whether you bore or confuse an audience versus interest and engage them. The ABT is about the three forces of narrative (agreement, contradiction, consequence) which are embodied in the three words of the ABT (and, but, therefore).
In this short, simple, practical book three scientists present what they have learned about the use of the ABT with science graduate students and postdocs. It provides an introduction to the ABT with an explanation of how to apply it to everything from proposals, papers and presentations to your life in general.

There are a few new bits in here for those who have already read Randy Olson’s earlier books, but where it really shines is providing a domain-relevant and boiled-down version for scientists. You need to learn to communicate your projects in a compelling way, not just for the public or ‘stakeholders’, but for other scientists. This book will give you the tools you need to do that, and can be read in one sitting.
