RE: Optogenetics: Shining Light On the Mysteries Of the Brain
Hi,
Your material is very much inspired from this link. Instead of copy pasting, I think it is more valuable for Steemit to give a link to the above page so that people can read it, summarize it in a couple of paragraphs and discuss what you really liked in there. And also emphasizing what is extracted from the webpage to make it clear to the reader that this is not your text.
Copy paste (and not citing the sources) is indeed a very bad practice and not fair for the original author.
Thanks for your understanding!
But I wrote that essay so this IS my text.
Still, I suppose it could be argued I plagurised myself (whatever that means) so I will go ahead and make some changes to the essay...
True, there is a connection between your username and the website where the text comes from and I missed it.
I would suggest to add a sentence at the end of the post indicating this connection, so that we know about it and don't consider your post as plagiarism.
