I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"

I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir

This is in one of the figures of the paper I'm reading. Love this man inspired by the triangular shape of an antibody

When you test a hypothesis, you arrive at a hyperthesis

When writing your own procedures, you include them in your methods section. When writing someone else’s procedures, you include them in the themthods section

If a paper has multiple authors it has a discussion section. If it has a single author it has a discmesion section

In case you ever wanted to know, here’s the aerodynamics of a cow. [x]

[wristchronometer]

Yes but why are you not approximating it as a spherical cow in a vacuum

[scienceshenanigans]

Because this is real life, welcome to the big leagues.

Before reading the description, I thought the cow was the victim of a nuclear blast. Glad it’s just wind (probably)
