Poor experiment. He didn’t find out what pollen allergies the plant might have had.
What do you mean? He already tested the three most common allergens: pepper, being ticked by a feather, and feet.
Me squinting hard trying to see if those are more common as allergens or as fetishes

*Funding needed to carry out such effort.
With this sort of talent, the kid is sure to get a grant.
Not college, but places.
Good enough science to be a YouTube influencer.
Isn’t this a joke from Diary of a Wimpy Kid?
Huh, that photo even appears on the webpage
If I read it, will I understand why “feet” is in the sneeze-causing list?
The smell?
I also don’t get it. Not everything that smells causes you to sneeze. None of the methods actually make sense. A feather tickles you, not makes you sneeze. And the pepper? The experiment is invalid. Did not disprove the hypothesis, needs more testing.
Ground breaking research. Disagree? Show me the study before this where they determined plants don’t sneeze
Wait till OP finds out this was not done by a kid but a full grown man.
Glad the kid didn’t p-hack the experiment 👍
The plant on the right has clearly sneezed
Kid’s *probably going places.
That would be the hypothesis.
Conclusion: Kid didn’t go places.
Experiment: This shitty poster.
The tragedy is that studies like this still get funding over actually relevant research.
Something tells me that you don’t work in science. The process for getting science funding isn’t simple and weeds out useless studies pretty quickly. On average, calls for proposals have about a 15% success rate. So, 15 in every 100 proposals get funded. They are funded after being vetted for usefulness, feasibility, novelty, cost, and other factors.
Since studies are well-vetted before getting funded, studies that sound like they’re simple or useless based on headlines normally make a lot of sense when you read the research results.
Some of the odd studies were simply cheap, and are, in fact useless
Damn, all those like … 10$ that could have been used somewhere else
Copying from a mediocre children’s book(diary of a wimpy kid)? No, they aren’t going far.
That’s either too pixelated for me or a weird pepper shaker.
Looks like “Martian Shakers”. Though they must have a special edition, because the ones I found have blue eyes
Oh nice for sharing the info.
Looks like an N value of 1 though. Hopefully results are replicable. I’ll wait for the meta-analysis.
