Abstract

[Summary]: Describing science accurately is a difficult task: it is so easy to be misunderstood. We need to write from many different angles to cater for a wide variety of readers. Make each view of your discourse as concise as possible so that your reader’s attention is not exhausted. Expunge useless padding.
