I like this. Most of the time jargon to specific groups just scares them off from wanting to learn more. I only use it as a rhetoric for stubborn people who think they know more than they actually do. But as time goes on, simpler is always better and shows a level of wisdom on the topic at hand. Thanks.
Strange, everytime he used an example that was supposed to be overtly complicated I understood him perfectly well and I'm neither a scientist nor a native english speaker.
Maybe it's not overly complicated but it requires more thought process and he's talking about simplification, so people can understand with less effort... Or that's what I got haha (just my POV)
Yes, but the reality is that most people are not you. That’s the point. If communicating science processes to people who know little about the field, go very simple without losing the core info. In a real situation, if someone in your audience asks for the detail, then you can provide it or send it later.
I watched your video for the first time couple of minutes ago and I now can proudly say your video is what I seeking for. Kudos to you for your simplified explanation. You deserve millions of subscribers. Lots of love from Pune City, Maharashtra State, India 🇮🇳❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Sometimes, when asking a simple question with the doctor or dental office, I'll get answers that have nothing to do with my question. What would be the best way to resolve this problem without getting annoyed?
True. Great video. I struggle with this thing whole my life. Learned to tackle it to a large extend by now, but the video is spot on. On the other hand. I also have a problem when people do this stuff to me. I do not want them to oversimplify. I strongly prefer the "...variety of orthographic and phonological similarity measures..." kind of thing. From my point of view when I am on the receiving side, the simplified version is effectively just borderline of a vague inconsequential small-talk. I am even a bit unhappy about this more factual version being the oversimplification, because I would like to know at least names of those methods/measures, so that I can look them up later if it interests me enough to do so. This gets very important in some situations, e.g. when speaking to a medical specialist about the condition of a significant person. And no matter how much I ask them to be precise and to give me details, they usually just go on with another oversimplification...
I love his eyebrows! Very expressive. 😁 Also, great information communicated in a very stimulating and interesting way. I appreciate your video composition, lighting and distance from the camera. 🤓👍
This is just a matter of practice. Look people in the eye. Shake their hand (if culturally appropriate and no pandemic...). As you do that, say “My name is Mohammad Abbas, pleasure to meet you.” Or “I’m Mohammad Abbas. Good to meet you.” Smile snd make eye contact. Practice in a mirror. Good luck.
@@HowCommunicationWorks Thanks for replying. I mean I don't have problem in such short introductions but for example, when becomes longer introduction for a team and talking about my background.
@@MohammedAbbasPLUS I usually write everything down first as if I were about to give a speech. Then I polish it and practice out loud. It serves as a reference in case you need it when you're presenting... Most of the times you won't need it :)
The simplification part comes natural. But the part where I loose my audience is when it takes too long to simplify the matter. You cut out the parts where you talk too long or think too much. How do I do that in an actual conversation?
I'm not trying to disprove the point of your video, but now I'm curious - how do you compare phonological similarity? Can speech recognition software do that? Or do you have a system for transcribing the pronunciation of pharmaceutical names?
Create phonological transcription in IPA or ARPAbet. Then use edit distance or ngram similarity to measure sim/distrance between the two strings. Google my name and "drug name confusion" and you'll find my papers.
I honestly preferred the complex alternatives. They gave me enough info for some rough evaluation of the legitimacy and efficacy of your work. The simplified versions sounded a bit too much like some (rather american) used car sales pitches and made me a wee bit suspicious. Lesson learned: I'm not a typical person. Other people like opinions more than facts?
It seems to me that drug names are very cliched and use only a very small range of the available linguistic options. For example, I feel like most drug names are easily recognizable as a drug name, even if you knew nothing about it and had never heard the name before. Is there some kind of marketing research basis for this? And, if so, are there any countervailing incentives pushing the drug companies towards more distinctive names?
Sometimes this happens. Sometimes the FDA makes a company change a name because it’s too confusing. But sometimes the drugs have been on the market for a long time already, and changing the name would have its own risks. Sometimes it’s the generic name rather than the brand name that gets confused, and changing the generic name would also cause confusion, especially if the drug has been around for a long time.
Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen.
Simplify far beyond when you think you simplify enough Problem - solution - benefits and forgert about fancy stuff like complex explanation and features focus on the problem what it solve and not what features of the product. Problem too many people get hurt because of medication errors- solutions a method to preditcitng the name that is confusing and preventing these errors - benefits and forgert about all the probability or features because they dont care and npt understand it. How those that work? it works great. dont make a description complex explanation because they dont care or understand those not the features of your solution pratice pratice pratice
