      My fave science word is: Eureka!
      I wish every scientific ‘discovery’ was obvious enough to be able to stand there and shout it. I hope one day I’ll get the chance to say it! More often than not, though, our discoveries are incremental – a small advance on someone else’s research rather than a large breakthrough.

      Great q!
      Hmmmm I’ll have to think about this one!
      I like the silly ones though of course.
      What is yours?

      “Super-paramagnetism” – it’s the only other word that I think you could put “expialidocious” on the end of!

      I also think “Morphogenesis” is a pretty cool word too!

      Hmmm, I quite like Baryon, planetoid and Tesla (which is actually a name) – but thew inner has to be deoxyribonucleic acid.
