It’s true that some scientific results can’t be replicated. And it’s also true that some people do the right thing when that happens:

Even when she saw terrible, horrible things, she kept hoping and working and fighting for a better future. May we all carry some of her spirit into the work ahead.
The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

#ChemSky - Since the demise of #ChemTwitter there are a lot of people posting papers here which is great
But…
Others are sharing papers with commentary over on LinkedIn but without acknowledging the authors - don’t do that - authors put a lot of work into their publications. They deserve it

Truly fabulous 😊 At least to science nerds like me. Loved the part where she talks about how the ice age was discovered, interspersed with a monologue on 1/2
This (lengthy) thread is really amazing - def take a few min and read all of it through twists and turns
The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.
