Scientists often think about the language from "outside" Teaching them English is really eye opening.

12. Biosynthesis of luminescent quantum
dots in an earthworm
The synthesis of designer solid-state materials
by living organisms is an emerging field in bio-
nanotechnology. Key examples include (...)
Here, we show that the earthworm's metal
detoxification pathway can be exploited to
produce luminescent, water-soluble
semiconductor cadmium telluride (CdTe)
quantum dots that emit in the green region of
the visible spectrum ...

Enhanced Cream production by Metabolic Engineering of Jersey Cows
It is possible that the low levels of production of
cream by cows could be improved by altering the
levels of enzymes in the central metabolism that
influence the production of milk. To test this
hypothesis, we identified and cloned the haythere
gene, which codes for semi-skimmed milk in Jersey
cows.

17. Effects of eating on the energetics of cyclists
relevant for the performance of muscles are
studied for the first time. Eating change(s) the
expectation values of fibre length by about 0.1cm
vs. values at the equilibrium geometry, which is
expected to have a significant effect on oxygen
absorption, charge separation, and muscle fibre
regeneration.
