The scientific community's existential crisis in four panels! Historical scientists (sporting magnificent beards, naturally) focused on groundbreaking genome research and were thanked for their contributions. Meanwhile, modern scientists are stuck explaining that the Earth isn't, in fact, shaped like America's national bird while being called liars by people whose research consists of watching YouTube at 2 AM. The scientific method hasn't changed, but apparently the battle against misinformation has become the new peer review. Newton and Darwin never had to defend basic facts against someone who "did their own research" on TikTok!
