Scientific Writing Publishing Your Research 101 provides a series of videos by the American Chemical Society on writing a scientific paper.  Some of the titles such as "Improving your writing skills" and "Writing so people will notice" may be generally helpful, while others are more specialized (e.g. writing a cover letter (to submit a manuscript to a journal).  All videos are less than 7 minutes long.
