This algorithmic prioritisation, combined with human behaviours like confirmation bias (where we only engage with what we already believe), creates echo chambers where falsehoods flourish.

This is apparently her actual account. She appears to be going off half-cocked about a study on transgenic mice (though perhaps having to do with reproduction; no mice were transified). The comments are amazing:
"Are the transgender mice in the room right now?"
"Ratatouille just ran in to my room and performed ‘toxic’ dressed like Grace Jones. I did not pay taxes for this!"
"Wait til she finds out about a whole Trans Siberian Orchestra…"
"Is this The Onion?"
"Wait until she finds out about snails and starfish"
"As long as the mice are using the right bathroom. That's the important part."
"Publicly not understanding things you’re paid to understand is a bold stance."
"Does she think that buffalo wings are made from actual buffalo, too?"
"Are you just trying to collect as many laugh emojis as possible before you go on your merry way?"
"I’m glad they give officials with a 3rd grade reading level a chance."
(and about 100 comments asking if this is The Onion or a satire account)

CW: Political "Science"
our lack of #scienceliteracy means that someone could say "there are multiple studies that show that birds are a hoax" and cause us to hesitate while they snatch our wallets. 3/

I just skimmed this article "10 #scientific #truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025"
https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/10-scientific-truths-unpopular-2025/
and I'm thinking that just because someone says a fact is "political" doesn't make it false. I'm also thinking that lack of #scienceliteracy is killing us. 1/ -
