Based on my experiences in academic medicine, this is painfully true

@tayfonay Poor Roger forgot the most important part.

@tayfonay @bacchus1234
I understand this dynamic is what is keeping academics attached to the reality distortion field on the Bird App.

@tayfonay Social media may have noticed those groundbreaking discoveries usually aren't put in action. What good is getting excited when the solutions aren't implemented?

(This isn't a comment against research)

@tayfonay Between the person standing and the one sitting down, there's a missing bond. I don't know what it is, but science' work is not making Tiktoks. 🤔

@tayfonay OMG I love your new profile pic! 🙂

@tayfonay Isn't this what influencers do?

Talk to the HR dept.

Find a nerdy sociopathic 20 year old influencer.

ASAP.

"That's all well and good, but *where is the headline?"

@tayfonay Has anyone seen the Australian show “Utopia?” This is a recurring theme.

@tayfonay This may only seem true if you rely on social media to inform yourself about new research. I am in the middle of a whole lot of #clinical #research that does not at all match this comic's image. As a trial statistician, I see doctors who for 80% really aim to improve the lives of their patients. (my work is to push the remaining 20% to focus on patients' gains and do this scientifically soundly)

I felt the need to reply, since I think this negative representation is slightly harmful.
