Svetlana A. Gudkova graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2007 as a specialist in the field of microelectronics. The next three years she worked for two projects: the creation materials for memristors and the creation of biocompatible coatings for dental implants. These projects became the basis for the dissertation thesis that was successfully defended in 2011. The project was realized in the extensive collaboration of scientists from Russia, Belarus, Germany, China and others.For the last 10 years magnetic material for electronics is the subject of interest for Svetlana Gudkova. She is a specialist in neutron and X-ray diffraction, crystals and powder magnetic materials synthesis. Svetlana Gudkova is the author of more than 80 scientific publications in English (Scopus & WoS). H index is 29.
Title: Language Barrier for Scientists
Nowadays researchers according to their grants or contracts have to present the scientific results at the conferences, articles and mass media reports. Publishing abstracts for conferences, articles or writing e-mail is common and the easiest way for the scientist to communicate with foreign colleagues. Researchers save their time with the help of translation services but they also save themselves from improving language skills and built dramatic barrier for offline presentation their work. Fear of being misunderstood leads to simplification of language tools. Avoiding of special terms in oral reports generates different interpretations of the same concepts and vice versa using the general English for descriptions of scientific phenomena leads to simplification of the scientific idea and loss of important details of the discovery.
