In the WIRED article "Scientists Are Rewriting the History of Photosynthesis" Jordana Cepelewicz utilizes formal scientific diction and appeals to logos to attract an audience interested in biological science, The author uses the word "extrapolated" in place of deduce when discussing the findings of Arizona State University and Pennsylvania State University, is an example of just some of the common polysyllabic wording used throughout the article. Cepelewicz favors logos over over other persuasive techniques (reasonably in an article surrounding scientific discovery) with factual statements such as "Photosynthesis directly or indirectly powers and sustains almost every organism on Earth. It is responsible for the composition of our atmosphere and forms the foundation of the planet’s many interwoven ecosystems.".
