Physiology Education and the Linguistic Jungle of Science
Nordquist, Lina
Advances in Physiology Education, v32 n3 p173-174 Sep 2008
Life sciences can be complicated enough without getting into the names of all its Dalton-scale participants. For many students, composing a project plan or writing a paper is rather like learning a foreign language. In this article, the author argues that there is a linguistic jungle of science, and it may well discourage students from pursuing a life science career. She suggests that the scientific community should put effort into rapid, reasonable, and logical naming of novel substances.
