Convergence
Non-Scientists
“Under lower but still toxic levels of glutamate, the stress is not severe and if the cell has on board a way to protect itself then it will survive.” she went on. She always looked for everyday analogies to simplify things to herself and reasoned that it was like driving at 100 mph, and even a seat belt and an airbag will do little to protect you from a head on collision with a brick wall, but at 20 mph you may have cracked ribs and a bad headache but you’ll still walk away.
The science is easy to understand
I have gone to great lengths to eliminate too much jargon and non-scientists should enjoy the non-technical manner in which the processes of experimentation and the pathways to discovery have been described. Thus, regardless of the cutting-edge science described, Convergence can be enjoyed in much the same manner as a drama/detective story, independent of the technical aspects.
