Interesting content! Next time consider adding some sources so one can learn more about this whole thing :)
Thank you for stopping by. I intentionally make it as simple as possible to understand without being too textbook looking. The things I mentioned here can be googled easily of one wants to compare it to what the textbook says. Think of the post as a retell of what I see in practice told in a manner where people dont have to think hard if I am talking about apples and how it is a fruit.
But if there is a specific detail you need, I'll look it up again. The reference I used are mostly from a paid subscription of an online textbook by WHO and a physical copy of a textbook, on this case published by Blaustein. So even linking those may mean having to go through a paywall or finding a soft copy and rummaging for the snippet of info on the pdf file. Not really a reader friendly experience.
As for the images, it's taken from what I saw on the microscope so I don't mention the sources that I own. Images I don't have sources on them.
Got it, but still it is a curation standard to some, you know. It also could make your post more classy :)
I debated about presentation when I started posting stuff like this in the past. I don't disagree with the input here as I see it having sense to present information in a classy way. But I still opted to just do things this way on the basis where I'm sharing stuff in chill mode and not trying to impress a medical community which requires an intensive amount of detail. Going that route removes my motivation to even post.
I think about the general reader experience. If a random stranger, none medically inclined came upon my post, information should be presented in a way that it's easy to grasp intuitively without a medical background and if there are any jargons or concepts present, these can be easily Googled up.
It's the same pet peeve I have with thesis type of writing, how so something so interesting can bore me when I have to be fed with terms that can be simplified and this just prevents people from appreciating the information and science behind. But this is just my preference.
Gotcha. You don't have to add "an intensive amount of detail", feed people with complicated terms or write a thesis to bore other people and yourself. Adding two or three links, though won't hurt anyone and it could actually help you.
Yeah, I'm a bit hesitant to link people to https://tumourclassification.iarc.who.int/welcome/ where I got the info and be greeted with a paywall to know. There is also - Blaustein. But that's where I got my sources from. The point is being considerate with not putting links that really give the reader answers they want if they have to go through different hoops to get it.
If there is a specific part on the post one wants to verify, I can backread it and give the answer and that gives me an idea that people actually read the post.
Hehe, so you want to be "considerate" of the reader. Thinking too much about how to evade the little suggestion can lead you to use ad hoc arguments ;)
I am not evading the suggestion. I get the suggestion. I already told you why I dont want follow the suggestion. If there is a piece of information that isn't clear, let me know so that I can double back on that detail and expound it so that I know you actually read it and interested. This is the voice I want my post to have.
