Words give rise to ideas. Ideas give rise to words. Immunity is an idea and a word. It is a metaphor.

Language shapes a lot of the thinking that prevails among scientists. Majority of scientists are unaware and not trained to realize how language shapes perception and the direction of their research.

@balajis @bencasnocha there's a lot of great research on "framing" basically, the words you use create mental frames to perceive the discussion example - "the economy crumbled" frames economies as structures with foundations, etc. https://t.co/egGJqv8v

A skilled writer can change outcomes with a single word. (Proven by this Stanford study where a single word radically changed outcomes.) Choose well, and you can affect much more than likes and tweets. #contentmarketing https://t.co/4UPt8ocsho https://t.
