      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Steak-umm

      Seeing a frozen meat company drag @neiltyson for intellectually sloppy thinking is not something you see every day. Worse for NGT, the frozen meat company is correct.https://twitter.com/steak_umm/status/1381822900521607171 …

      the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/1381197292728942595 …

      It's much easier to drag a scientist constrained by a character limit.

      That argument would hold more water if the meat tweeter didn't drag him effectively in the same forum.

      Yep. Also, NdGT’s Tweet didn’t even come close to the Twitter character limit. Had he wanted to expound a bit more, he could have. Instead, he went for a pithy, pseudoprofound take.

          "he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma." How one is skeptical of a process that is an ever-refining process to find truth?

          Also, if the character limit is an issue that’s what tweet threads are for.
