Vote: Best Hot Take from YGBFKM

Ten hot takes. One vote. Science journalism has never been more democratically absurd.

Every story at YGBFKM ends with a Hot Take: the writer's lateral, unhinged, or uncomfortably accurate reaction to whatever science just did. We went back through the archive and pulled the ten that made us stop and read them twice. Now you pick the best one. The titles include links to the posts if you want to read them before deciding. Happy voting!

The plan is to keep the poll open through the end of August, and then share results here and in the newsletter.
