It took till this year for scientists to have the idea to use mri to track brainchanges in pregnancy.

Just imagine how many super basic observations we must be lacking.

Scientific thought is ancient but we barely scratched the surface in pretty much every field.

Ah see you said “pregnancy” which one o’ them woman things and see we just don’t got the time and energy to be spending on that stuff. /s

I heard that some men used to be babies that came from a woman. Ugh. Disgusting

Pff, nonsense, if that were real then we would have heard of it by now!

All real men spring forth, fully formed, from Zeus's brow.

Took til past couple years to get funding for it. About 75-90% of scientific proposals to the NIH are not funded.

ignoring the elephant in the room that the study of anyone other than white males is rare, people don't talk about the obvious. We don't write it down.

Gravity took FOREVER before someone went "wait why?" and there's tons of stuff we don't even think about, like the 'new shape' that people just didn't think to talk about because it's just so simple

the study of anyone other than non white males is rare,

There's plenty of studies on white males.

sorry typo 🙃

What is that? Does it have a name?

It looks like you could stack them in a strong way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That's not a simple shape. Why would people want to talk about it?
