Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "geobiology" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "geobiology is" sounds like "geobiology-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "geobiology" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
Always places primary stress on the "ol" syllable.
