Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Had lots of fun last week at Stanford, chatting all about the Amazon and sharing lots of tree knowledge!

Would you like to work with us on filling tree biodiversity and biomass knowledge gaps in the Brazilian Amazon? Are you an expert in tropical botany/plant ecology and knows or want to learn remote sensing? Then this job is for you!
