The Abstract provides a clear, concise overview of a paper. It presents the main story and a few essential details. A good abstract sorts readers - allows them to decide if they want to read the paper or skip the paper - by persuading them in the first few sentences. Increasingly, journal editors and reviewers are using the abstract to triage submitted manuscripts.  This session will focus on writing excellent abstracts.  Taught by Penn-trained Elizabeth Colston, M.D., Ph.D.
