Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. – Mark Twain
I have written mainly for Physics World and New Scientist. If you are a New Scientist subscriber, you can read the articles by clicking the links; if you aren’t, you will just see the first couple of paragraphs. Likewise, the first few paragraphs of all the Physics World articles are available online, but except for Guglielmo Marconi: radio star you’ll need to subscribe to see the whole thing.
