The Up Goer Five Thing

Pinched variously from [livejournal.com profile] nwhyte (http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2055197.html) and Derek Lowe at In The Pipeline (http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2013/01/16/drug_discovery_with_the_most_common_words.php) where you describe your job using the 1000 most commonly used words in the English language.

Both of the above gentlemen do a much better job of explaining themselves than I do.

I study how the small parts of the body work, smaller than a cell. I try to see how what they look like changes how they work.

I am hamstrung by shape not being one of the words. Or meat. I can explain proteins better if I have access to those two words.
