Because of the dead Rover and inadequate oxygen supply? Either bad luck or bad planning. Space is always trying to kill you.

You may remember a few years back when CERN had to announce, "We're pretty sure neutrinos don't go faster than light, but we're getting this one funny result." There was some talk for a few weeks before they came out with the next report, "We found the messed-up wire. Physics is working right now."

I was thinking Felisa Wolfe-Simon, Jodi Switzer Blum, Thomas R. Kulp, Gwyneth W. Gordon, Shelley E. Hoeft, Jennifer Pett-Ridge, John F. Stolz, Samuel M. Webb, Peter K. Weber, Paul C.W. Davies, Ariel D. Anbar and Ronald S. Oremland. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Make sure it is plugged in properly too.

An important contribution to the field of metrology.

There should be one about not publishing the surprising chemistry obtained from the guy smoking outside the telescope cupola.

Physicist here. .. am calibrating equipment tomorrow...lol

You might want to take notes, @nobelprize.org This is actually a good idea.

Truly leaving-the-ground-intact research

Deliciously savage

it's important, let us continue to praise those that follow standard procedure and make sure it works before they try anything.

As a scientist, I approve this cartoon.

okay but unironically this would be a good idea

This should be a thing lowkey

The one with the monkeys‽

Also reading your 96 well plate in the same orientation that you analyze the data coming off said plate.

Do they have an award? Like diligence and rigor based?

These reports are available to federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies, as well as other certified archaeologists in the region. Also always reviewed by regulators, and often cited by subsequent studies in the immediate area, as well as used for predictive modeling (geographically)

There's an event/gamified convention where they try to replicate results 😀 www.npr.org/2026/02/27/n...
