Rant of the day: science communication within academia is far more pretentious than it is effective. Within the first sentence of a 42 page article, I have counted *14* prepositions. What’s more, not a single comma (or any other punctuation, actually) is present to break up 7 lines of text. That sentence is more like a paragraph in itself.
I don’t care about esoteric buzzwords thrown in to show what big bollocks your brain cells have, I care about the content. But if I have to wade through dense thickets of unpunctuated text, I will stop caring pretty quickly. I don’t have time to decipher the product of your falsely inflated ego!
TL;DR if you want people to read and understand your shit, make it readable and understandable!
