Most Ridiculous Scientific Phrase of the Day
Perhaps I’m picky about my tolerance for useless or obscure scientific jargon, especially ones I feel have been redundantly coined, but I feel like I’m fairly lenient when it comes to accepting “-ome” words, like “genome”, “proteome”, “lipidome”, “secretome,” and so on. I even think that “interactome” and “allosterome” aren’t all that ridiculous. But “alpha-amino terminome”?? Seriously, at that point, you’re just making shit up.
