<p>Physicists observe and test occurrences in the natural world. They analyze the results, share their discoveries with colleagues and communicate their findings in scholarly publications. Writing is an important part of this process and can help to instruct and convince the reader while helping to facilitate the future development of science by building on the work of others.</p>
