Speakers hesitate or make brief pauses filled with sounds like 'uh' or 'uhm' mostly before nouns. Such slow-down effects are far less frequent before verbs, as researchers working together with an international team have now discovered by looking at examples from different languages.
Today I successfully submitted my first paper to arXiv! We've submitted this paper to a journal, but it hasn't been published yet, so we wanted to get a pre-print up before advertising the corresponding software packages. Unfortunately, the process of submitting to arXiv wasn't painless. Now that I've figured out some of the quirks, however, hopefully your…
Our bodies are biologically based and therefore are not equipped to communicate with electronics efficiently. New research could make it possible to genetically engineer our cells to be able to communicate with electronics. The development has the potential to allow us to eventually build apps that autonomously detect and treat disease.
As researchers, we spend years of our life building our research. But then when it comes to research writing, many of us still struggle. Research communication is more than aggregating results and…
