How the fuck can anyone say science sucks

Have you ever seen a vacuum chamber? Science does suck ... and it's fucking awesome at it. 🥁

Erm technically that's the air pushing not the vacuum sucking 🤓

Neil DeGrasse Tyson, probably

You can just put the quote without his name and people will understand who you are talking about.

Because doing science sometimes DOES suck. I bang my head on my desk doing science sometimes, and I dislike it.

Do different science. I felt like that for so long working on potentially unsolvable problems. Now I work on very difficult, but solvable problems that save lives.

It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.
