Corporate sponsorship Memes

When government funding dries up, desperate scientists turn to the dark arts of corporate sponsorship! The meme brilliantly parodies academic papers by showing scientific plots and data visualizations plastered with logos like Amazon, DraftKings, and Duolingo - essentially turning serious research into the equivalent of a NASCAR driver's jacket. The caption "Figure 5. Example of how multiple ads can be used to fill the entire space left empty" is pure scientific deadpan humor that hits too close to home for anyone who's ever written a grant application. Next up in prestigious journals: research papers with "This breakthrough brought to you by HelloFresh" in the footnotes.
