Unlock the language of science

STEMWorkbench breaks through 7 language barriers:

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.
