Scientific unprogress...
(reddthat.com)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Wakefield did manage to fool peer reviewers and got his paper published in Lancet, a top-tier medical journal (and it took them 12 years to fully retract that paper). So I wouldn't say people recognized that immediately.
(And I just kinda hate "things were better in the past" type of arguments, in general. Things were shit back then, and things are shit now.)
