Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:
A brown-skinned woman with curly hair and glasses asks a question with a concerned expression:
"Does it concern you how much social science we base on data from Scandinavia?"

Panel 2:
A woman with medium-length dark hair and glasses responds calmly:
"Nah. It’s the richest data source. No other countries provide such detailed metadata."

Panel 3:
The brown-skinned woman appears puzzled and asks,
"But, what if Scandinavians are really weird? Don't you worry that'll bias everything?"
The woman with dark hair replies,
"How so?"

Panel 4:
The comic transitions to a magazine cover titled "nature," featuring two identical twins with blonde hair, who look casually surprised. The caption reads:
"Twins separated at birth always like pickled fish."
At the bottom, there is an attribution:
"(inspired by something Noah Smith said)"

The overall theme examines the reliability of data sources, with humor regarding cultural biases in data interpretation.
