Word Origins by Pandora Word Box links Medicine and Biology with
Humanities, Arts and Sciences. The
goal is to stress "Ideas in
Words", to be entertaining and replace memorization by a better
grasp of meanings.
Grasp of word roots and visual fine arts enhances verbal reasoning, and we hope, will help
boost verbal and vocabulary proficiency as measured by MCAT LSAT CAT SAT scores and other college
tests and entrance examinations.
Ideas in words are intertwined with mythology, poetry, history and are illustrated by works of visual fine arts. Notably, genetic and linguistic evolution are closely
intertwined as are medical humanities. Ancestral archives of genes and
words contain "archetypes" of ideas that may serve as a bridge with the past and may
explain modern realities. More about Pandora Word Box...
