About this roundtable discussion: If you understand something very well, explaining it clearly to other people may be difficult. This mental blind spot is dubbed the “curse of knowledge” and it can contribute to unclear writing. Using examples from biomedical writing, this session will explain the concept and discuss ways to address the problem.
