Learn the Lingo and show you're part of the "secret club"

I just read an interesting article in the "Chronicle of Higher Education" that you might find interesting. It talked about how every field of study has its own slang - or, as I like to call it, "secret code". If you're a graduate student or new Ph.D., it's very important for you to "Learn the Lingo" of the academic world.

Why?

For one thing, just like a secret handshake, knowing the language shows that you're a part of the club, that you belong.

Do you understand phrases like "chalk talk," "faculty lines," or "NRSA?" If not, (or even if you do), you're going to want to read this article to see what's new in the Lingo of your world...To see if you get to be part of the "club", just click the link (and give me the secret handshake!)
