  • RFK Jr.’s health department calls Nature “junk science,” cancels subscriptions

    Jump

  • Anecdotal only, sorry. I'm sure it varies by field, and it's more about letters than longer papers. There are probably fields where Nature is excellent, but I know that there is at least one where the odds of a letter to Nature being accurate a few years later is about 50%.

  • And, for that reason, about half the papers (depending on the field) published in Nature are wrong.

  • Excellent, physics in service of humanity!

  • Maybe not nursery rhimes about balloons

  • Elements formed by alpha capture. Since alpha particles have 2 protons, it's generally elements with an even number of protons.

  • Some stellar atmosphere models also add "alpha", which provides an extra knob for the abundance of alpha-capture elements. If you need anything more than that, you're doing some niche astrophysics.

  • Party on, Ted! No, wait, that sounds wrong.

  • Well whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it

  • Absolutely, but that's not what your meme says. Peer review in this case says the manuscript should be significantly revised before publishing.

  • Because Einstein's science had absolutely no basis in fact.

  • Out of real witches???

  • How do you stay active?

    Jump

  • You can find instructions online for stretches and exercises, but that doesn't hold my interest. I bit the bullet and joined a gym, going a couple of times a week to keep loose. Maybe I could do the stuff I do there at home (after purchasing some equipment), but I think the environment is worth the expense. I don't talk to anyone else except to greet the staff, but I like the fact that other people are around and it's a space dedicated to working out.

  • Hey Lemmy! What is your most beloved and hated British slang?

  • How do you know that the plane that just landed is from England? Even when the engines have been shut down, you can still hear the whining.
