Writing, Co-Editing, and Productivity Guidance for Faculty with Richard Edden, PhD, MSc

Joining us today on the Faculty Factory Podcast is first-time guest, Richard Edden, PhD.

Dr. Edden is Professor of Radiology in the Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Within his department, he also holds the position of Director of Post-Doctoral Fellows.

“I do a lot of thinking about how post-doctoral fellows develop themselves while progressing towards potential faculty appointments,” he said.

This is a great discussion for our listeners who many not be natural writers. As Dr. Edden describes in the early moments of this podcast, writing does not come natural to him. In fact, his early aversion to writing is actually what drew him into the sciences in the first place!

It's a very interesting journey that we dive into in-depth on today’s show.  

For those interested in “talking shop” when it comes to scholarly writing and productivity, you are in for a treat with today’s podcast.

“You can’t get far without being able to communicate your material well and increasingly efficiently, as well,” he said.

Today’s episode includes many helpful nuggets for all faculty, including the following:

• Writing tips for folks that are not “naturals.”
• Advice on co-editing manuscripts with peers.
• Guidance for building stronger relationships with our mentors.
• Advice on receiving and handling criticism in a productive way.
