From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

I’m always mildly concerned about how shocked people are about animals being conscious beings with feelings. Do people really think we are mentally that different from other animals with brains?

I think the best redirect would be to convince them to “self-pasteurize” their milk. You can make an entire ecosystem of grift products on the best home pasteurizers to avoid harmful toxins or whatever the current buzzword is.

Not really, but it’s a useful assumption for lots of different types of maths.

I believe they use “no binarie” if anyone’s interested.

This is why the “secret scientists don’t want you to know” always turns out to be some pseudoscience bs that at best is misinformation and at worst is actively harming people. So, yes, they are things scientists don’t want you to know.

Seems fancy and legit, I see no reason to actually read it and confirm the info.

I like this version better than “he had a fever when he measured 100 degrees” so I will choose to believe it without further research.

I hope you are correct.

Imagine having to make up an entire series of math lectures just to cover up your search history.

It’s got flavah

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).

I originally read the title as “it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study” but it appears it’s actually “it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries.”

Gotta go fast!

And now I want to know the deep meaning behind all of those Chinese knockoff tee shirts that I thought were just poorly translated.
