In order to solve a scientific problem, or come up with the answer to a question, scientists from different disciplines sometimes have to work together.

But, even though they’re all using words many non-scientists don’t understand, a completely common language has proven elusive.

Now, researchers are talking about this;  Ariel Anbar is one of them. He’s a professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at ASU and co-author of a paper about this, which was published in the journal Nature. Anbar discusses how big of an issue this is.
