Title:
SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING

ACTIVE VOICE
e.g.
Our team collected samples and then we tested them.

CLICKBAIT VOICE
e.g.
We collected some samples...
You won't believe what happened next!

PASSIVE VOICE
e.g.
Samples were collected and tested.

HAIKU VOICE
e.g.
Quiet science lab.
Workers arrive with samples.
The testing begins.

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE
e.g. We did all the collecting and testing.
No need to thank us.
Just doing our job.

CONSPIRACY VOICE
e.g.
Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

I am working on the last chapter of my doctoral dissertation, and how I LOVE the topic has made me work on it religiously. I guess it is like parenting: the first ch./child taught me a lot, the 2nd ch is sometimes forgotten, and with the 3rd ch I can truly enjoy the ride! #PhD #PhDstories

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

People like to feel smart or that they are part of something other are not. We all want to be special. Some will feel that way by believing in crazy ideas of secret relationships that governs the world. Facts, numbers and stats do not work. We need to improve critical thinking from a young age.

Disaster is a function of three things: exposure, vulnerability, and hazard. As climate change pushes up the hazard rates for wildfire, flood, hurricane & more, lack of adaptation and maladaptation on the part of both public and private entities is increasing vulnerability.
