I love that the latest XKCD has inspired spin-off versions in multiple branches of academia

Here's the XKCD

ML / NLP

Community Ecology

Microbial Bioinformatics

Paleontology

Psychiatry

Network science

Plant systematics

Structural biology in Covid times

Economics

Perovskite (I had to look this one up, it's a "calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate")

Neuroscience

Analytic philosophy

Conservation papers in the media (this one is a bit salty)

Peatland (today I found about about #PeatTwitter)

Plant science: "We used all our budget to go to the jungle to look at plants"

OK this one is particularly niche: Neuroscience papers, 2012 edition

Glaciology: "This glacier in particular is melting"

I feel like I've just been through a comprehensive lit review across dozens of fields that I know nothing about, this is delightful

Psychology: "Things get weird as soon as you have people in groups"

Wow.
