Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.

Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

This is what's happening in epidemiology.

"Zozo". The Basque word for blackbird. To me seems to perfectly express the bird's zest and busyness. While the Spanish "mirlo" and especially the Catalan "merla", conveys the male's melodious fluty song. And then we have blackbird now sounding so drab. Image: wiki

They asked a Google AI for Ed engineer “how he planned to enact his vision of the future, one where AI filled classrooms rather than emptied them. ‘The professors themselves,’ he said, would be responsible for figuring that out.”
They promise utopian and make others responsible for delivering it.

I love biology facts but it's disappointing that it's both a misconception that urine works as emergency water and that it can treat a jellyfish sting, the sad reality is your pee is useless and your body wants it out of you for a reason 😞
