Annoyed with something in your daily routine in life sciences? You think that some stuff is just happening to you exclusively? You wish that there was a word for this? Well now there probably is one. Find out what's bugging so many of your colleagues most of the time. If you like naming your problem and having a good laugh, this book's for you. This book belongs to the new genre of science diction that started out as "The other dictionary" in the humour section of Lab Times magazine. It contains various situations, objects, findings, notions, and people typically encountered in life sciences that are combined to produce a fresh new name. To make this even more scientific, the corresponding names are taken from real species names. Enjoy the many coloured illustrations and find out which weird species names can be combined with even weirder situations.
