Dear Scholar,

This week, I would like to invite you to two events that might interest you and ask you what topics you are most curious about so that I can explore them next. Starting next week, the newsletter is going to give you a deep-dive every week on the topics you vote for:

Mushtaq Bilal's Academic Writing Webinar

Registration for Mushtaq Bilal's 1 March webinar on how to Supercharge Your Academic Writing with AI is now open. I have personally worked with Mushtaq, his explanations are clear, easy to follow and he has a breadth of AI knowledge. He also uses many tools I don't, and is thus a great addition even if you visited my previous webinar on writing with AI.

More than 2,200 academics from across the world have attended this webinar. It will be a 4-hour webinar and it will cover the following topics:

• How to develop the right mindset for using AI for academic purposes
• How to craft compelling research questions with Research Kick
• How to use AI apps for literature review (Scite, Elicit, Consensus)
• How to find relevant papers with visual search (Research Rabbit, Inciteful)
• How to read papers efficiently with AI apps (Scholarcy)
• How to find common themes in papers (Lateral)
• How to write zero drafts and clean them up with ChatGPT/Claude
• How to edit your first draft with Paperpal
• How to make ChatGPT your academic writing assistant with custom instructions
• How to use Claude for creating custom Projects
• How to use Google Gemini for creating custom Gems
• How to use Deep Seek reasoning model for academic work

The webinar will start at 5 pm GMT on 1 March 2025. Registration: You can register for the webinar by clicking the link below: ​
