Bird for breakfast

Ever bitten into a bird? Just to get that ‘fluffy’ feeling in your mouth? German has absorbed ‘fluffy’ and turned it into ‘fluffig’, which youth culture takes to mean much the same thing as the original. So what corporate or advertising genius decided it was a good idea to put it on a muesli package?

Yummy,

It pays to copyedit your Internet advertising before posting it. Unless you want to end up with a ‘Slime Line Edition’!

Challenges of freelancing

As a freelancer, I encounter different pitfalls from colleagues employed in the corporate world. You can find a light-hearted look at them here, in the latest edition of EMWA’s magazine The Write Stuff, which is all about ‘Business’.

Quo vadis Medical Communications?

uschoenberg — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:38:01 +0000

What is going on in the field of Medical Communications in Europe? How are approaches changing due to the impact of new technologies? And what do medical writers have to offer in this challenging environment? Some answers to these questions can be found in the recent issue of the European Medical Writers Association’s journal The Write Stuff (a hard copy can be ordered via EMWA). You can read my editorial for this special issue here.

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2010!

What’s New

I am currently supporting clients in the areas of diabetes, genetic diseases, anaesthesiology and hematology. I am also guest editing the December edition of the EMWA journal “The Write Stuff” on the topic of medical communications. And besides getting this website up to speed, I also just finished a workshop on the basics of the Content Management System “Typo 3″.
