The scientific progress pendulum has swung wildly! In the 90s, we had Dolly the sheep (first cloned mammal in 1996) and the Sojourner rover cruising Mars (1997) - groundbreaking achievements that expanded our understanding of genetics and space exploration!
Fast forward to today, and scientists are having to repeatedly explain that the Earth isn't flat to a growing community of conspiracy theorists. The asterisks around "round" perfectly capture that exasperated tone of someone who's explained this basic fact for the thousandth time.
It's the perfect encapsulation of how scientific communication sometimes feels like taking two steps forward and one giant leap backward. From cloning mammals to debating shapes we've known since ancient Greece... what a time to be alive!
