A Twitter joke about worms turned into a multi-day social justice education session, according to the Daily Beast, as woke members of “science Twitter” accused a flatworm detractor of perpetuating racism, sexism, and oppression in the scientific community.
Late last month, the host of the popular zoology podcast, “Just The Zoo of Us,” asked scientists who work with living organisms to name the “most overhyped” animal. “The post made the rounds of the loose community of researchers, zookeepers, and wilderness enthusiasts that makes up Science Twitter, a community whose passion often manifests as friendly smack-talk,” the Daily Beast reported. “Answers flowed in: blue whales, lions, penguins. A grand time was had by all.”
