Lost In Translation

Module 1 — The Return

You already know your science is strong. This module helps you hear it the way a reviewer encounters it on the page — and find the places where clarity breaks down.

Module 1 introduces the Coffee Conversation method, a plain-language exercise that is often the first step toward a sharper, clearer, more persuasive grant.

MODULE 1 INCLUDES

  • A video lesson on the first of the Five Translation Gaps

  • A practical exercise you can use immediately

  • The companion workbook

"The first translation gap is not between you and your reviewers. It's between your own thinking and your own writing." That was profound and really hit home for me. I love the concept of the coffee conversation.
