There are a lot of platforms that use Markdown as the main way of helping writers format their text so it looks nice and conveys their message efficiently.
If you are a scientist, then you may want to include more specialist text, such as subscripts, formulae, etc within you text. Using laTeX is a good way to do this. Using MathJaX allows you to get the best of both worlds.
Further to the recent webinar, on the topic of writing I found a related podcast from The Struggling Scientists. Please see link below. Hope this is helpful as it is always useful to have a range of views on this topic.
On the 24th Feb I made a post to help promote a webinar on How To Improve Your Writing Productivity, A Research-Based Approach which was taking place on the 28th Feb. This was presented by Bec Evans and Chris Smith, co-founders of Prolifiko! in Partnership with Overleaf.
You can now watch the recording of this by registering here it is about 58 minutes long, I am not sure if this includes any Q&A.

Another LaTeX video, this time relating to creating a bibliography. This isn't using Overleaf, however the principle is similar. The Overleaf example file has a built in Bibliography example. I have found a video that covers this, so please see the second video below.

Writefull, is a really useful extension to overleaf, that helps you improve your writing. It is designed to be integrated in to Overleaf, so complements really well. From experience, this works in Chrome but I am not sure if there is a specific plug-in for Firefox.
The narrator does seem to be talking rather fast, which makes it harder to follow. I did use the Youtube settings to slow down the speed to 0.75, which sort of improved this. To be fair, I am not sure if the narrators first language is English, so that may account for the speed he is talking. But it is not a barrier to watching the video, once slowed down, or even at normal speed.

Tutorial for writing lab reports in LaTeX and Overleaf
So further to my previous overleaf post. This is a tutorial to show you how to make a simple lab report. It is about an hour long. But seems to cover quite a lot of ground. I am happy to help people with LaTeX, I would recommend using the forum (see links below), you should be able to tag me in with
