An XKCD-style webcomic featuring two characters against a yellow background. On the right, a wild-haired character in a lab coat stands next to a large mechanical device resembling a laser or death ray with a control panel. On the left, a blue-shirted character questions them.
The dialogue boxes read:
• Blue-shirted character: "Why did you build a death ray?"
• Lab-coat character: "To take over the world."
• Blue-shirted character: "No, I mean what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations? You at least are going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?"
• Lab-coat character: "Look, I'm just trying to take over the world. That's all."
The caption at the bottom reads: "Sad truth: Most 'mad scientists' are actually just mad engineers".

Screenshot of an interactive SpecParam knee simulation dashboard. The app shows controls for simulated spectral parameters, an explanation of knee parametrisation, and a log-log PSD plot comparing the true spectrum, noisy spectrum, knee model fit, and fixed 1/f fit. The knee model follows the curved spectrum, while the fixed model fit deviates as a straight line.
