Tip for those applying for NHMRC IGs: Don't write with 'assumed knowledge'. No jargon from your field. I am reviewing many drafts - it's a really common pitfall. Pls remember: the reviewers will not be from your specialty. They must understand every detail. Pitch it right

You are too kind, thanks for the post Sue Walker. I wrote this to make birth less mysterious and scary for women. I hope my clinical colleagues might recommend it to the many they care for. Thanks to all! The Birth Book ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿ‘ถ
