Home school monopoly called “Pandemonium” or perhaps “Pandemic” using corona bucks (made by kids) and a board that has “GO ON VENTILATOR” instead of “GO TO JAIL” do not pass “GO” do not collect “200 corona bucks”. In the corona bucks there is the virus, with its spike 1 and 2 proteins, the transmembrane protein, the envelope protein, the nucleocapsid protein and the single strand RNA.
This is a quote from an interview with Leonard Cohen….. I love it…. so why is it necessary for us to disassociate our rational seeking the eternal from our acceptance of eternity?
Infochasm: the exceedingly great distance in knowledge, comprehension and terminology between two scientists, which increases in proportion to their lousy communication skills.
This is an awesome new word created by “moi”. Perhaps infochasms exist in all vocations, that is, the linguistic nuances of new and repurposed words used to describe specific items in a specific field. “speaking in tongues” perhaps, or analagous to the language problems of “Babel”.
When I speak to my colleages, even those with whom I have published scientific papers in good journals, I find they don’t really understand me or my “points” and I don’t really understand them and their field, not because of the complexity of concepts, but mostly because of the additional definitions that words gain over time, the infinite amount of information available, and because of word useage, order, definitions and language nuances.
This was just so cute that I had to abscond it and repost
Per Rosanne on the news this 30th day of May, I heard on NPR one of the best retorts to a comment attempting to reassign blame for a racist comment from self to Ambien……. Reply from the drug company was spot on and i am sure it will become a classic quote. It went something like this….
I should be gracious, as it is common for me to make typos just the same as everyone else, but sometimes i find one that just tickles me. This, in a book whose editor is japanese, just was so cute i had to list it. The “L” “R” thing is quite evident. And while this is a post about a typo, i still give praise to anyone who is fluent in more than one language, power to them. This is just for a smile. Being an anatomist, i wondered if somehow i had missed this special type of arterial disease of the colon; I did google the word… nope, google thought it should be “coronary” as well.
I hope I am able to laugh at my mistakes, as this individual needs to laugh at their typo. What… ha ha… a lysosomal rapture…. no kidding, waiting for the rapture myself, and hoping to be among those taken into the ether. Just in case you missed it…. lysosomal rupture would be, i must presume, what was intended.
Perhaps this book chapter is source of the “rapture”
OK this is one of my own typos–totally awesome creation of a new word with a new definition.
