[Irtalk] #FSSC: Scientist ≈ Layperson | Publishing blog | Royal Society

[Hilton Gibson]

*I also dream of the day when papers no longer contain circuitous,
impenetrable sentences, when researchers no longer reach for clunky words
such as ‘facilitate’,* or write in the passive voice, as if some mighty and
impersonal force had done their research. Scientific papers are often so
opaque and jargon-laden that science is not really open at all, despite all
the lip service paid to the idea of ‘open science.’
