The frustrating thing about working with people who do not understand the scientific method is when they want you to prove their hypothesis... What they want to believe.
The way science *SHOULD WORK* is that you form a hypothesis and then work like hell to try and break that hypothesis.

Still true

These are one of the many ways @biologists.bsky.social and its flagship journals support our community. Take advantage of them and then consider publishing with there, rather than in the fifth step-down journal of the robber barons
