Today, I will talk about my field of work. Tribology: the science of friction, wear and lubrication #SciComm [Thread] Whenever I mention 'Tribology' in a conversation, half of the listeners are clueless and the other half assume I study tribes/tribals. The term, however, originates from the Greek word tribos, “to rub”, i.e. the science of rubbing (#haun, I know).
