Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) researchers can advance their careers and increase their scientific impact by prioritizing their writing skills. In addition to Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser's landmark research that inspired this special issue, her legacy is reflected in her prolific writing. Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser has the unique ability to convey her innovative research clearly and to diverse audiences. She also made writing mentorship a critical part of the training experience in her lab. In these ways, Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser's writing skills and mentorship have shaped both the PNI field and her trainees' careers. In this paper, I distill lessons learned about writing from Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser during my time as a graduate student in her Stress and Health Lab in the 2010s. I reflect on Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser's influence on her trainees' writing habits, summarize "writing pearls" inspired by her feedback/revisions, and provide observations on her writing mentorship habits. These tips are intended to help PNI trainees to clearly communicate their work and to help mentors reflect on ways they can prioritize and advance their trainees' writing skills. Finally, I reflect on how Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser's mentorship and scientific accomplishments had a tremendous impact on my own career development.
心理神经免疫学（PNI）领域的研究人员可以通过优先提升写作技能来推动自己的职业发展并提高其科研影响力。除了基科尔特-格拉泽博士具有里程碑意义的研究激发了本期特刊之外，她的遗产还体现在她多产的写作成果中。基科尔特-格拉泽博士具备独特的能力，能够清晰地向不同受众传达她的创新性研究。她还将写作指导作为其实验室培训经历的关键部分。通过这些方式，基科尔特-格拉泽博士的写作技能和指导塑造了PNI领域以及她的受训人员的职业生涯。在本文中，我提炼了在2010年代我作为研究生在她的压力与健康实验室期间从基科尔特-格拉泽博士那里学到的写作经验。我反思了基科尔特-格拉泽博士对她的受训人员写作习惯的影响，总结了受她的反馈/修订启发的“写作要点”，并对她的写作指导习惯进行了观察。这些建议旨在帮助PNI领域的受训人员清晰地传达他们的工作，并帮助导师思考如何优先提升并推进其受训人员的写作技能。最后，我反思了基科尔特-格拉泽博士的指导和科研成就如何对我自己的职业发展产生了巨大影响。
