As a follow on to my earlier posts, here’s the top ten science clichés as suggested by you and confirmed by Google Scholar. I’ve not broken it down by number of words this time, as this seemed to be less important.

1. Statistically significant 1,190,000

2. This study shows 200,000

3. Necessary but not sufficient 124,000

4. More research is needed 112,000

5. Paradigm shift 105,000

6. Physiological relevance 52,600

7. A new study 39,400

8. Implications for therapy 19,900

9. Sheds new light 17,400

10. Nature versus nurture 7650

And for the record…

Release of calcium from intracellular stores 3620

That’s still a heck of a lot of calcium release.
