					<description><![CDATA[Here is my last scicomm series tip: “consistency.” There are many options in English spelling and grammar. It can be confusing, and I know I spend a significant amount of time looking things up on Google when I’m editing. So my last bit of advice is this: if you’re unsure about which style is best, just ... <a title="Twelve Tips for Terrific Texts: Tip #12 – Consistency (Polishing stage)" class="read-more" href="https://www.jordanp.ca/twelve-tips-for-terrific-texts-tip-12-consistency-polishing-stage/" aria-label="Read more about Twelve Tips for Terrific Texts: Tip #12 – Consistency (Polishing stage)">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We’re on the eleventh and penultimate tip in my scicomm series: “units.” Science is full of measurements, so we regularly include units in our writing. It&#8217;s tempting to keep the unit right next to the number, for example so that they don’t get separated at the end of a line (google non-breaking spaces if this is ... <a title="Twelve Tips for Terrific Texts: Tip #11 – Units (Polishing stage)" class="read-more" href="https://www.jordanp.ca/twelve-tips-for-terrific-texts-tip-11-units-polishing-stage/" aria-label="Read more about Twelve Tips for Terrific Texts: Tip #11 – Units (Polishing stage)">Read more</a>]]></description>

The ninth tip in the series is “data.” In science, we talk a lot about data. We also argue a lot about the proper use of the word.
