The PNAS journal published a take on nuclear economics, and the academic community was quick to joke about it.
When I got a paper in that journal, my husband referred to it as my penis paper. People who keep you grounded are important to surround yourself with.
The hubbub began this week when the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal published an economics paper which seems to demonstrate how little economists know about the other social sciences.
A paper titled "The scientific value of numerical measures of human feelings" was published by the PNAS.
Many researchers have pointed out that the PNAS study is not new. Many other social sciences use psychometric surveys as a valuable data source.
"This week's edition of PNAS: economists discover the social sciences" was written by a medical statistician. The heart, brain and lungs are important for human life.
It appears that PNAS is just discovering century-old psychometrics.
The Duke sociology professor said the same things in a thread.
The paper's entire framing is almost comical, according to the professor.
At one point, PNAS began to trend, and that's when the dick jokes started to roll in.
The missive to the journal was written by Holub.
She swears that PNAS is always funny.
We can't say we don't agree with the journal's title.
Asking the public to name a probe may have been a mistake.
