Hot take from a linguist who edits scientific manuscripts:
"Academic writing" has become a euphemism for "intentionally difficult to read."
Complexity ≠ rigor.
The best papers I've ever edited were also the clearest ones.
Coincidence? Definitely not.

Enamel pin on a backpack handle. The pin is shaped like a book with the cover text “Trees - A miniature guidebook”

Same backpack and pin as the other photo, but now the book is open, showing leaf shapes of several common British trees

Now on my backpack: this excellent tree identification pin from @canopyrobin.com
It’s interactive! Not just in the sense that it opens (which is already cool), but you can also scan it with your phone to get more tree identification info! I’m going to identify so many trees this summer :) #scicomm

🧠 Neuroscience breakthrough:

Expert mathematicians don’t use language areas for #math!

Instead, their brains amplify ancient number-sense circuits in the intraparietal sulci & prefrontal cortex.🤓

Math builds on basic intuition!

Ever felt that “aha” moment?

Photocoagulation-induced Large Posterior Staphyloma in Choroidal Osteoma A 51-year-old woman was diagnosed with a choroidal osteoma in her left eye and referred for evaluation. She had a history of consecutive treatment of laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for tumor-related neovascularization since the age of 31 years (Fig. 1A, B). Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OD and counting fingers OS. Fundus examination of the left eye revealed a partly regressed choroidal osteoma with retinochoroidal scar and scleral exposure (Fig. 1C). Swept-source optical coherence tomography showed a deep posterior staphyloma with outer retinal atrophy (Fig.

People have the perception that the shape of the Universe is spherical, but we actually don't know the real shape of the Universe.

We need more research to determine it.

The silent majority: RNAs that don’t make proteins Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — with much still to be discovered

“Non-coding RNAs turn out to regulate everything from embryonic development to immune responses to brain function. They help determine which genes get turned on and off, and when. They can promote cancer or suppress it.”

Highly likely not, and rightly so.
