New-to-me phrase that I love:

Another phrase I've encountered that I've only ever heard from chemists:

In reference to differing moieties around a chemical series, "assorted spinach".

6 Reasons You Need Good Visuals in Your Presentations
I'm not exaggerating. A great visual with a teeny tiny bit of text (as in, like, up to 5 words) will make your point better than a slide full of bullet points ever will.

💡 Good to know for your #SciComm: People who talk with their hands seem more clear and persuasive. 🤌

A new study finds that gestures make communicators more effective – but only when the gestures visually represent the idea they’re talking about.
