      I try not to use big words.
      The biologists love their acronyms though…

      Hey Morton,

      that’s a real hard one…..the disease I work on is a pretty long word….familial hypercholesterolaemia……the most overused sentence in science has to be ‘more work needs to be done’ which translates as, we got these results, not sure what they mean but let’s publish!
