Microbiologists sweating bullets trying to invent 47 new synonyms for "diverse bacterial populations!" 💦 The irony is delicious - in gut health research, a varied microbial community is literally the gold standard for health, but imagine tiptoeing around the D-word like it's radioactive! "Sir, we've discovered a, um, *checks thesaurus* heterogeneous... multifarious... taxonomically non-homogeneous bacterial ecosystem!" Meanwhile the bacteria are just chilling in your intestines completely unaware they've become politically controversial. Science vocabulary doing linguistic gymnastics is my favorite sport!
