Why are scientific papers difficult to read, even for scientists? A scientific paper from researchers in Italy and Finland shows that long sentences, jargon, and overuse of acronyms can make scientific papers less accessible by hampering their science communication. The study looked at more than 24 million paper titles as well as more than 18 million abstracts! This poses issues of accessibility for the public, which funds much of this scientific research, as well as for other scientists who need to evaluate new discoveries. • Center for Life Science: • Life Sciences • Among the world's largest science centers, the Museum of Science engages millions of people each year to the wonders of science and technology through interactive exhibitions, digital programs, giant screen productions, and preK – 12 EiE® STEM curricula through the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Science Education Center.
