Preparing and publishing manuscripts for physical sciences and sustainability journals
Strand Building, Strand Campus, London
This is a hybrid event. If you're interested in joining this seminar online, please contact netzero@kcl.ac.uk for the Teams meeting link.
This month we are joined by Dr Michelle Muzzio from Cell Press.
Publishing is an integral but challenging part of conducting scientific research. Michelle, Editor-in-Chief of Chem Circularity, at Cell Press, will give an overview on the process of preparing and publishing manuscripts, with some tips for effective preparation and presentation of research. She will introduce the physical sciences and sustainability journals at Cell Press and highlight potential synergies between your research work and Cell Press. Throughout the discussion, Michelle will also be free to answer questions about the publishing process as well as professional scientific editing in general.

Speaker Bio:
Michelle Muzzio earned her PhD at Brown University, where she championed research in sustainable chemistry applications of nanoparticle synthesis and published on biomass conversion, electrocatalysis, the degradation of industrial contaminants, and chemical engineering. Since joining Cell Press over 6 years ago, Michelle has worked across the physical science and sustainability journals, most recently as a deputy editor of iScience. In that role, she led the Earth, Environmental, and Engineering sub-team, ultimately leading her to launch Chem Circularity, extending the footprint of other Cell Press journals Chem, Joule, and One Earth, as editor-in-chief.

Net Zero Interdisciplinary Seminar Series
The Net Zero Interdisciplinary Seminar Series is the flagship seminar series for King’s College London’s Net Zero Centre, providing a platform for cross-pollination between academia, industry and government to develop novel research projects to achieve Net Zero.
Every month, we host a speaker to discuss a new research idea and seek contributions from audience members on a proposed challenge. A half-hour talk is followed by a discussion, and we encourage speakers to engage with colleagues on research related to our four priority areas, decarbonisation, sustainable manufacturing, equitable resource allocation and resilient infrastructure.
About us
The Net Zero Centre at King's is dedicated to addressing the challenges of decarbonising our society and reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing, infrastructure, and cities. It serves as hub for scientific, technological and engineering research geared towards this challenge.
Based in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences (NMES), the Centre works across the boundaries of disciplines at King’s from geography and business to law and social science to deliver solutions for sustainable development. The Centre fosters the next generation of King’s change-makers by educating scientists and engineers on the holistic context of these challenges and developing technologically aware social scientists, lawyers, and policy makers.
