---

It is time again for a new challenge! After the first one got so many great entries, I decided to do it again with a different topic.

---

The Topic

This time, it is all about misconceptions. Write about either

• A misconception that greatly annoys you
• A misconception that amuses you

---

The Rules

• The misconception should be about something scientific, which includes not only natural sciences like biology, chemistry and physics but also mathematics, technology, medicine and engineering – basically STEM + medicine.

• Write a post describing the misconception and explaining how and why it is wrong.

• Add sources and properly cite them. If you use pictures that aren’t your own, give proper credit.

• Tag your entry with #suesascience and post a link to your entry as a comment under this post.

• The challenge will end on 29th September at 0:00 UTC+2, results will follow soon after.

• Winners will be chosen by volunteers from steemSTEM management who won’t participate themselves.

• Winners from the last challenge can participate, but their entries won’t be taken into consideration to give other people a better chance at winning.

• If you want to participate but want to decline the chance to win you can state that at the beginning of your post.
