Unlock the language of science
1. | So many terms! | Most branches of science have generated thousands of specialized terms. Unless you're already an expert, deciphering a single paper can take hours. |
2. | Highly defined terms | Many terms have detailed, specific meanings that can't be guessed from their context alone. |
3. | Nested terms | Definitions often depend on other terms that are also highly defined. |
4. | Interdisciplinary texts | Because the sciences often overlap, it's common for a single paper to employ multiple vocabularies, e.g. maths + physics + astronomy. |
5. | Hidden terms | Common words sometimes have special meanings, e.g. alien (ecology), expression (biology), and insult (medicine). |
6. | False friends | Terms can have different meanings in different disciplines, e.g. fraction (maths and chemistry), calculus (maths and medicine), and deposition (law, chemistry, geology). |
7. | Academic words | Scientists also use general academic words such as aggregate, parameter, and sequence. |
