Later today we’ll live stream this cartoon and make a reel which we’ll share via stories but only after we've talked about it on discord and hired an acapella group to make a song to put up on Spotify

I know that I shouldn't have a folder on my computer that is the equivalent of a mouldy dumpster, full of random data. But I do 🗑️⁠

@jan It may be to you but while it's still in our QA system it's not depreciated in our hearts 😉

Science is a subject of logic and reason... except when it's not working it's clearly being ridiculous and unreasonable⁠

We made these by special request some time ago but Disability Pride month seemed like the perfect time to share them. We say it a lot but it's worth repeating, anyone can do science⁠

@doppelgrau Hi, we do try our best to put AltText on all our cartoons but it is a difficult and time-consuming task unfortunately (no social media services make it easy annoyingly). We are in the process of trying to find a volunteer to specifically help with https://fediscience.org/@MCeeP/110581389811602556

errantscience,

@doppelgrau Totally understand and unfortunately, we can't post the content directly with AltText so we are always forced to play catchup and edit and add AltText when it is already up. I appreciate you flagging it as I'd not managed to catch it going out and it had been up too long without

@ahimsa_pdx Hi, we do try our best to put good AltText on all our cartoons but it is a difficult and time-consuming task unfortunately (no social media services make it easy annoyingly).

Top tip: If you write it in the risk assessment and you're still allowed to do the experiment you can't be held accountable for any subsequent catastrophe ⁠

We all love a good pun but pretending to be Horatio from CSI Miami and then signing the Who is very much frowned on in the lab ⁠

Fun fact this cartoon is based on a true story. I once plotted my results against themselves and got briefly very excited that I had found a perfect correlation... I don't think this cartoon conveys how stupid I felt

I wish I was a scientist with superpowers 🦸

It is a universal constant that no researcher can resist the allure of free food

Getting back reviewer comments always feels like life and death but it's rarely that dramatic... unless you drama it up a bit

Somedays you have to accept that inanimate objects like lab coats have defeated you and accept your fate
