Before I leave for my honeymoon I wanted to share what we've been up to at #Mastodon. Here's a new Patreon update!

This week, Science published a stunningly irresponsible news story entitled "Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common" and claiming that upward of 30% of the scientific literature is fake.

Below, the first two paragraphs of the story.

Headline and intro notwithstanding, the story itself later notes that the detector doesn't actually work and flags nearly half of real papers as fake. Does the reporter just not understand that?

"Der, die, das. Wer? Wie? Was?" Seit 50 Jahren singt Deutschland den Titelsong der Sesamstraße und hat dabei gelernt: "Wer nicht fragt, bleibt dumm." 🤔

Nun widmet das Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg der Sendung eine Sonderausstellung und geht dabei auch der Frage auf den Grund, wie so eine Sendung entsteht.
