blog 3:
I think the video was very interesting. It made me think about how many languages have words that mean things we as english speakers cannont fathom, because it was never apart of our language. For example the two american scientist who could not figure out a genetic answer that could be easily answered by a german because their language says that forelimbs and backlimbs are the same, and so are genetics. I think scientist from each country should be allowed to publish in their own native language, but that it must be translated into english and other languages. The reason why it must be translated is that science is universal (hence its own mesuring system: liters, kilograms, etc.) its ment to be shared across the board to every scientist no matter the language.
