    It took till this year for scientists to have the idea to use mri to track brainchanges in pregnancy.

    Just imagine how many super basic observations we must be lacking.

    Scientific thought is ancient but we barely scratched the surface in pretty much every field.

      ignoring the elephant in the room that the study of anyone other than non white males is rare, people don’t talk about the obvious. We don’t write it down.

      Gravity took FOREVER before someone went “wait why?” and there’s tons of stuff we don’t even think about, like the ‘new shape’ that people just didn’t think to talk about because it’s just so simple

        There’s plenty of studies on white males.

      Took til past couple years to get funding for it. About 75-90% of scientific proposals to the NIH are not funded.
