When Social Media Challenges Academic Authority - Humorous Science Cartoon #1551997 (License: Personal Use)

A bespectacled professor in a lab coat stands before a densely packed green chalkboard filled with integrals, Greek letters, and physics diagrams, pointing with a stick. To his right, a casually dressed student holds a smartphone, looking skeptical and uttering the line, “Nuh-uh. Some guy on Twitter just said you’re wrong.” The scene humorously critiques how social media often undermines expert knowledge with unverified claims.
