I have a very strong background in historical writing. Things like LEQs and DBQs I thrive at. Along with that, it is very easy for me to find a common theme with documents and discover a common thesis.  However, this is not the writing of my field, seeing as I am a Biology major. I have not done a bunch of research about writing for publication kind of papers in the healthcare and science field. That concerns me a little about how well I will adapt to that.
I would love to learn how to write better as a scientific writer and move a little away from the current writing style I have. Although it has helped me in the past, and I will still use it for regular writing, I would like to develop a new writing type. If I could achieve this, I would be all the more adapted to the field that I will be entering in a few years.
