  Our tendency is to tell people the facts. First, though, they must realize they need them. We make a good story by identifying the knowledge gap we will fill. You frame a knowledge gap by using what is known to identify the boundaries of that knowledge. It’s like framing a window — build the structure to support the area you will fill in. Identifying a knowledge gap creates curiosity. Filling that gap creates novelty.

  3. I agree with Montgomery. Often, the process of structuring your thoughts to communicate them allows you to test and refine those thoughts. As you focus on writing clearly, you force yourself to think more clearly. Improving your writing will help you become successful, both because it allows you to communicate your ideas more effectively, making them accessible to the widest audience, and also because it makes your thinking, and thus your science, better.

  2. Success is defined not by the number of pages you have in print but their influence. You succeed when your peers understand your work and use it to motivate their own.
