I like this. Most of the time jargon to specific groups just scares them off from wanting to learn more. I only use it as a rhetoric for stubborn people who think they know more than they actually do. But as time goes on, simpler is always better and shows a level of wisdom on the topic at hand. Thanks.
I watched your video for the first time couple of minutes ago and I now can proudly say your video is what I seeking for. Kudos to you for your simplified explanation. You deserve millions of subscribers. Lots of love from Pune City, Maharashtra State, India 🇮🇳❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Strange, everytime he used an example that was supposed to be overtly complicated I understood him perfectly well and I'm neither a scientist nor a native english speaker.
Maybe it's not overly complicated but it requires more thought process and he's talking about simplification, so people can understand with less effort... Or that's what I got haha (just my POV)
Yes, but the reality is that most people are not you. That’s the point. If communicating science processes to people who know little about the field, go very simple without losing the core info. In a real situation, if someone in your audience asks for the detail, then you can provide it or send it later.
I love his eyebrows! Very expressive. 😁 Also, great information communicated in a very stimulating and interesting way. I appreciate your video composition, lighting and distance from the camera. 🤓👍
Sometimes, when asking a simple question with the doctor or dental office, I'll get answers that have nothing to do with my question. What would be the best way to resolve this problem without getting annoyed?
True. Great video. I struggle with this thing whole my life. Learned to tackle it to a large extend by now, but the video is spot on. On the other hand. I also have a problem when people do this stuff to me. I do not want them to oversimplify. I strongly prefer the "...variety of orthographic and phonological similarity measures..." kind of thing. From my point of view when I am on the receiving side, the simplified version is effectively just borderline of a vague inconsequential small-talk. I am even a bit unhappy about this more factual version being the oversimplification, because I would like to know at least names of those methods/measures, so that I can look them up later if it interests me enough to do so. This gets very important in some situations, e.g. when speaking to a medical specialist about the condition of a significant person. And no matter how much I ask them to be precise and to give me details, they usually just go on with another oversimplification...
This is just a matter of practice. Look people in the eye. Shake their hand (if culturally appropriate and no pandemic...). As you do that, say “My name is Mohammad Abbas, pleasure to meet you.” Or “I’m Mohammad Abbas. Good to meet you.” Smile snd make eye contact. Practice in a mirror. Good luck.
@@HowCommunicationWorks Thanks for replying. I mean I don't have problem in such short introductions but for example, when becomes longer introduction for a team and talking about my background.
@@MohammedAbbasPLUS I usually write everything down first as if I were about to give a speech. Then I polish it and practice out loud. It serves as a reference in case you need it when you're presenting... Most of the times you won't need it :)
It seems to me that drug names are very cliched and use only a very small range of the available linguistic options. For example, I feel like most drug names are easily recognizable as a drug name, even if you knew nothing about it and had never heard the name before. Is there some kind of marketing research basis for this? And, if so, are there any countervailing incentives pushing the drug companies towards more distinctive names?
I'm not trying to disprove the point of your video, but now I'm curious - how do you compare phonological similarity? Can speech recognition software do that? Or do you have a system for transcribing the pronunciation of pharmaceutical names?
Create phonological transcription in IPA or ARPAbet. Then use edit distance or ngram similarity to measure sim/distrance between the two strings. Google my name and "drug name confusion" and you'll find my papers.
I honestly preferred the complex alternatives. They gave me enough info for some rough evaluation of the legitimacy and efficacy of your work. The simplified versions sounded a bit too much like some (rather american) used car sales pitches and made me a wee bit suspicious. Lesson learned: I'm not a typical person. Other people like opinions more than facts?
Sometimes this happens. Sometimes the FDA makes a company change a name because it’s too confusing. But sometimes the drugs have been on the market for a long time already, and changing the name would have its own risks. Sometimes it’s the generic name rather than the brand name that gets confused, and changing the generic name would also cause confusion, especially if the drug has been around for a long time.
The simplification part comes natural. But the part where I loose my audience is when it takes too long to simplify the matter. You cut out the parts where you talk too long or think too much. How do I do that in an actual conversation?
Simplify far beyond when you think you simplify enough Problem - solution - benefits and forgert about fancy stuff like complex explanation and features focus on the problem what it solve and not what features of the product. Problem too many people get hurt because of medication errors- solutions a method to preditcitng the name that is confusing and preventing these errors - benefits and forgert about all the probability or features because they dont care and npt understand it. How those that work? it works great. dont make a description complex explanation because they dont care or understand those not the features of your solution pratice pratice pratice
Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen.

Yes, "far beyond when you think you've simplified enough." Amazing video, Bruce.
Thanks, Alex. The thing about simplification is so hard for students to learn without lots of feedback.
Thank you for breaking it down in such a simple manner!
I love how you midway through the video changed the order of 2. and 3. as you noticed you described the one before the other. Great video!
Your video is brief and concise. I really love it. I wish all my work meetings run this way!

Thank you so much for sharing with us! I will use these techniques going forward it is clearer.

And as with many things, having a high IQ makes this process much faster and easier. If only we could all be blessed with high intelligence.
No doubt, intelligence is an all-purpose advantage.
Prayer works in a similar way. You need to be simple, focus on the problem and expect a solution (faith). Then do it over and over agsin

You are properly close to the camera for that reason I feel as if we are talking one on one
Well, I like the complex better
How about changing the name so it doesn’t resemble another drug name?
Sometimes this happens. Sometimes the FDA makes a company change a name because it’s too confusing. But sometimes the drugs have been on the market for a long time already, and changing the name would have its own risks. Sometimes it’s the generic name rather than the brand name that gets confused, and changing the generic name would also cause confusion, especially if the drug has been around for a long time.
I'd like subtitles please
😍😍😍😂😂😂
this is some quality content but please xD move the camera a bit further away from your face :)
Closer to my face, you say?
This type of angle makes me wish I had a dad like this. He gives me that dad talk and lift you up with the advice.
cool video! too close to the camera.
I just want to help my coworkers not work in the hardest possible way. I don’t like doing a bunch of unnecessary work.
Are you a pharmacist or a bio chemist research or something or a drug annalist
Something like that. It’s not hard to find out about who I am and what I do.
The simplification part comes natural. But the part where I loose my audience is when it takes too long to simplify the matter. You cut out the parts where you talk too long or think too much. How do I do that in an actual conversation?
Like.. the question is always what are you willing to lose in simplification. If nothing why are hou complicating in the first place.
What is your Ph.D. in?
Communication.
Simplify far beyond when you think you simplify enough
Problem - solution - benefits and forgert about fancy stuff like complex explanation and features
focus on the problem what it solve and not what features of the product.

Though the video is good, the pace is too much.
Too fast or too slow? Either way you can change the playback speed in UA-cam.
I think it's funny people prefer to speak so complicatedly! I'd rather speak so simply a child could grasp the lesson.
