    Thanks to the person that redacted the handles in that image, we’ll never know the full name of that second person :D

      Facts. I wrote a paper about espionage during the Manhattan Project many years ago. Spent a full week focused on it and reading books then wrote the paper. 10 pages iirc. I had to stand in front of a board and defend it. I forgot who Oppenheimer was and bombed (no pun intended) the review.

    Are you the one that censured the names? If that is the case can I ask for the reason to censur Kristis name as her name in the text is not censurd nor is it or any other in the picture of the paper.

      No, I merely steal content from Reddit to get this community up and running. The same question was asked on the Reddit thread and apparently it was censored to comply with Reddit’s site wide rules. I think the paper is considered public information and the Twitter name is considered private by Reddit or something.

      The author’s handle is @kirstimiller30 on Twitter but her tweets are protected now so I can’t read the full conversation or find “Mel”.

        Well it has a conclusion, they just acknowledge the limitations of their study and suggest more research is needed on the subject. That’s a pretty standard conclusion from what I recall of my time in academia! But to make up for wasting your time, here’s my favourite little video that always makes me smile: https://youtu.be/VCKg_tbYjgs help

          Yes indeed. The last thing you want to do in a paper is make a conclusion you cannot back up with the data.

          And if you have already done the work… there’s no point in not publishing it. Saying what you did and that it gave inconclusive results is still useful because it means that any other work in this area needs to go further, or have a different structure/look for something else.

          It is often difficult to get conclusive data. The world is messy and that’s just the reality you have to work with.
