Acronyms: Enough or Too Many?
12 minutes
In a twist on the usual Word Dissection
feature, we explore what an acronym is—and it's a
bit more complex than you might think—and some current
trends in the use of acronyms in science. There's new
research, too!
- Patton's definition of acronym & list
of A&P acronyms (from Survival Guide for Anatomy &
Physiology) my-ap.us/2ZnpGvY
- From ACTH to DNA: the rise of acronyms in research (brief
summary article from Nature) my-ap.us/2Fq6WVp
- The growth of acronyms in the scientific literature (research
article from eLife) my-ap.us/32bW4n7
- GGTOTD (good generic time of the day)

Your New Community
11.5 minutes
Take The A&P Professor experience to a new level by
joining the new online private community away from
distracting social media platforms, tangle email threads, and the
roiling sea of available webinars.
- Discussions that matter. In our private space,
we can have the vulnerability needed for authentic, deep
discussions. Discussions not limited to a sentence or two at a
time.
- No ads. No spam. No fake news. No thoughtless
re-shares. Just plain old connection with others who do what you
do!
- Privacy. The A&P Professor community has
the connectivity of Facebook and Twitter, but the security of a
private membership site. None of your information can be shared
outside the community, so you can share what you like without it
being re-shared to the world. Like your dean, for instance. In our
community, you can share your frustrations freely. And find
support.
- No algorithms. You get to choose what you want
to see. You curate your own feed, selecting only those topics that
interest you. Join subgroups that resonate with who you are—or who
you want to be.
- Access to mentors and like-minded peers. Our
community is made up of all kinds of people from all over the
world, each with different perspectives and experiences of teaching
A&P. Find members near you—or far away. Connect with members
online at that moment.
- Courses, groups, and live events. As the
community grows, we'll add mini-courses and micro-courses—some with
earned micro-credentials, live virtual office hours with me and
other mentors or guests, private special-interest groups, and
more.
- There is a very modest subscription fee to join our
community.Deep discount on subscription to The
A&P Professor community (good all of September 2020)
