Ep 62: How to Write a Paper

But even outside that field -- within any field, in fact -- knowledge must be pursued, parsed, processed and put down on paper. Everyone should know how to do this, even if you never want to write a paper in your life.

Welcome to Episode 62 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.

In this episode, Ajay distills his experience of many decades of writing papers into a masterclass that will help you not just be a better writer, but a better thinker.
