“I have to say, writing this was more difficult than I anticipated. As scientists, we get pulled into our own little worlds. We are surrounded by others in the same field, and we rarely think about trying to explain what it is we do to others who are not familiar with the field. I admit to doing this myself, but I have been able to pass on some of my experience to you by writing this.” ~ Jessica Lynn Menke “During the course of my graduate career, I have often found
myself struggling to explain to a friend, or family member what exactly I have
been researching for the past five years. This is a position that perhaps all
scientists have found themselves in at some point or another. The difficulty in
effectively communicating science (especially chemistry) is comprised primarily
of technical jargon. In this chapter I will attempt to explain my graduate research
to a general audience. It is my hope that after reading this chapter, you will
have a clear understanding of not only what I have been doing for the last five
years, but why this research is of a broad societal interest.” ~ Avery Watkins |
