But it does raise an interesting issue: my main motivation in writing this blog is to make science more accessible, which means presenting information in terms that the non-expert can understand. If this thing is right, I may not be succeeding.<br \/>\nSo, some questions for you lot: what level of education do you have? Science or non-science? How much of what I write do you actually understand? Feedback (particularly from lurkers) would be appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not quite as &#8220;longwinded and incomprehensible&#8221; as James, it seems: I&#8217;m not sure exactly how useful this little tool is.
