Neuropsychologist who loves getting nerdy about both my field and other things. Loves language, knitting, drawing, fantasy books and food; believes in human rights and in being kind, but also taking a hard line against intolerance.
Got to tell a prescriptivist who was mad about an "incorrect" pronunciation of adrenaline and noradrenaline in Danish, that I, with my "incorrect" pronunciation, am in fact a professional within a relevant field, so no, all of those do not pronounce it his "correct" way. Yay, combining interests!
