Business English for Pharma & Biotech: Research & Regulation
Six scenarios, specialist terms, James in his own words – in 90 seconds.
Transcript
We need to talk about magical thinking, because magical thinking is actually going to stop you from learning. Business English for your pharma and biotech teams, conferences, regulation, publications, live online with native-speaking trainers since 2004. Hi, my name is James Simmonds and I'm an English teacher based in Germany with over 20 years of experience.
Welcome to our conference talks, regulatory communication, scientific publishing, international project teams, clinical trials, partnerships and licensing, six scenarios from your workday, clinical trial, informed consent, peer review, precise English for studies, regulatory submissions and scientific discussions, wherever you are, screen sharing for paper reviews, virtual conference simulations and individual assessment. We need to talk about things that will help you improve your English, but maybe we can start by talking about a few things that really won't work. Native speaking trainers with industry experience from 90 euros for 90 minutes.
Remember, the brain is not a sponge, it's a muscle and it needs exercising. Start with your free needs analysis, Simmonds.
