Stephen HeardManuscript (re)submitted! In keeping with my trend to publishing only weird stuff, this one is called "The Name of the Rose (and Everything Else): How Codes and Practices in Naming Biological Species Reflect Cultural Identities"
This is a chapter for the book "Onomastics and the Law: Names, Identity, Power, and Policy". Yes, I had to look up what "onomastics" means...
This was fun, a way to stretch my writing about #ScientificNames for an audience (linguistics, law) unfamiliar with them. Naming species is the most purely creative act in all of science... and that makes names fascinating!
