    1. found

      abrupt ending to this article. Overall, I think the information is good, but not sure if I learned anything new. Recommendations seem rather general and vague at times.

    2. report on the results without giving any opinion or any subjective interpretation of the results that were received from the study; report the results as raw data

      This part can be challenging. As a writer, you want to show if the results support your proposed hypothesis. This section must remain a report of findings without making any claims about what the data means.

    3. Keep it simple and concise but also detailed enough

      I think a good question to ask yourself is if somebody else in your field picked up your methods section, could they recreate your experiment.

    4. The methodology section gives future researchers clear and concise instructions on how they may repeat the review, step-by-step

      It is shocking to me how often I come across poor methods sections in sports rehab and performance articles. It used to be a section I skimmed over (esp statistical explanations), but now really pay attention to methods and will critique findings and/or author conclusions if this section is not well done.

    1. when you're adding an image you're just really excited to post this beautiful graph you got but you forget so when that happens or if you're a bit newer to using alt text you may want to download a free extension for chrome and it's

      Working in higher ed and regularly giving lectures, I can't believe this is the first time hearing of alt text.

    2. plain language so you often hear the words plain language turn around um but true plain language is to make things accessible and to make things understandable for everyone so if 00:29:29 something is truly written in plain language anyone who speaks the language would be able to pick it up and understand what it is talking about and this true paling language is 00:29:41 extremely important for the likes of government reports um or i know it they don't always happen but it should happen so if you have a public report if you have a

      This is something I always try to include in my own SciComm. I believe one truly understands their subject matter if they can communicate it with brevity and simple language. People using unnecessarily complicated or wordy explanations are a flag for me as an audience member.

    3. camelcase is where you capitalize the 00:26:19 first word of or the first letter of each word in a hashtag you can also do this for emails and websites as they are not cas

      This is very interesting and something I have never considered. The effectiveness of this talk would vastly improve with these terms defined up front.

    4. with my screen reader on twitter and i come across this image and it has no alt text

      I was not aware of alt text for images. I think education on what tech is out there for people with disabilities should be a priority. The way this is presented though, makes me feel like I'm ignorant if I don't automatically recognize this.

    5. urban dictionary

      Sorry, this seems like a legitimate definition but as an audience member for this talk the speaker loses credibility if they are referencing urban dictionary in their slide to me.

    6. you can also refer things like canes and walkers instead of thinking of them as like stigmatized things you can refer to them as mobility aids because that's what they are they allow people to be mobile um and also you can say instead of physical ability you can just say

      I can see the difference of changing from wheelchair "bound" to "user," but canes and walkers are descriptions of mobility aids. They specify what level of assistance a person may require based on injury or fall risk. I'm not saying the speakers are suggesting to abandon the medical model, but replacing a term like walker with mobility aid could pose a danger in that it could lead to someone using an assistive device that is not safe for them.

    7. there's two different ways primary ways to think about disability and one is the medical model which this definition reflects and the other is the social model and so i'll talk a little bit more about the distinction between those two things

      This is the first time I have heard this laid out this way and have probably only thought about disability from the medial model perspective. Interested to hear how this is elaborated on
