  • It’s cool stuff, BUT it’s still an artists rendition. It’s not fact.

    Edutainment science is great, but when they pretend “This is what she looked like”, it’s bullshit. Then when someone comes back later and says “No, THIS is what she looked like” people get all confused and think science is dumb.

    When you see interviews with the best science communicators, they always phrase it like “We used the best models we have, and we are confident that this is an accurate representation based on our current information” THAT would be a great sub-headline.

    I just hate it when the news gets watered down to show an artists representation, no matter how good, as fact instead of probability.
