Science Education Under Attack—The Language Barrier

...own through the generations from a time when its original meaning was well understood. A common example of the first case comes from medicine. One doesn’t have a “heart attack,” one has a myocardial infarction. Myo- refers to muscle and cardial refers to the heart. Dictionary.com defines an infarct as “a localized area of tissue, as in the heart or kidney, that is dying or dead, having been deprived of its blood supply because of an obstruction by...Read More

Fight the Power (Company)–and Burglars

...un by an administrative law judge. Photo by Luis Relampago, via freeimages.com Earlier this month, Judge Martin finally released her “Recommended Opinion and Order” (ROO). We were delighted to see that she largely sided with those of us who opposed what SSVEC wanted to do. But there was one more step in the process. The ROO is a recommendation, not the final decision. That has to be made by the ACC and last Thursday, it was item #33 on a 34 item h...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 49 — Head-Hopping

...ck out when their focus returns to the first POV character. This trap is easiest to fall into when a story is being told in close third-person POV, because the focus is so much tighter on individual characters’ viewpoints. Omniscient POV can seem to head-hop because the narrator can tell the reader what each character is seeing, thinking, feeling, etc., so it’s important for you as a reviewer to correctly identify each scene’s POV selection. Examp...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 47 — Danglers

...role was never concluded. The reviewer doesn’t have many good ways to overcome this incompletion problem. He needs (a) a really good memory for the details of the story, (b) to have gotten enough of the story in a short enough time to have the chance to catch the dangler, or (c) that stroke of good luck—which usually comes at an inopportune time—in which he suddenly realizes, “Hey, what about…?” Catching that Dang Dangler So if catching and fixin...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 46 — Padding

...g or depth. A writer can pad her work in a number of ways. One of the most common is with backstory, that background material that explains why and how the hero got into his predicament in the first place; why the antagonist is the way she is, starting back in her deprived childhood; the histories of the remote monastery they now find themselves trapped in and the ascetic monks who first built it, and so on and so on. The reader needs to know all...Read More

We’re All Gonna Die!!!!!!

...than 50 cases. Then she goes on to say, according to the CNN reports, “We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the magnitude of its potential threat.” Well of course science knows little. It’s early days in the research on this thing. But CNN makes it sound like by the time we know enough to do anything about this disease, we’ll all be dead. That’s just irresponsible, IMHO. It’s those kinds of statements, and the breathless,...Read More

Great Stuff for Writers, April 15, 2013

...who have been fortunate enough to have been traditionally published are suddenly finding ourselves shut out. What to do? In Help! I’m Published and I Can’t Get Up!, James Scott Bell (@jamesscottbell) advises taking a step back and doing some self assessing: what kind of writer/publisher are you—he suggests four types, from “hands off” to “arms around”—and then that thing we’ve all heard before, but based on step 1: never give up. Today being Tax D...Read More

The Book/Marathon Connection

...one. Both require continuous, steady exertion and development in order to complete the task. Runners and writers both build endurance and confidence over time, and both must learn a lot along the way, about themselves and what it takes to achieve their goal. They take time. Writing a book—at least, writing a good book—takes a year or more for many of us. Training to run a full marathon, or even a half-marathon, can easily take as long. I trained...Read More
