Jackson Hinkle

X’s Community Notes claims missing context: Jackson Hinkle posted, "Are genes real, and if so can you show me a picture of one?" The post included a poll that ended with 61% saying No and 39% saying No. X’s Community Notes added a context graph to the post that currently reads, “The post implies genes are not real and suggests that no photo of a gene exists. Photomicrographs of chromosomes (each containing a few hundred genes) exist. Electron microscope photos of DNA also exist, albeit with the DNA spread out instead of curled up forbes.com/sites/evaamsen…” After several days, Hinkle responded, saying "Ask the question: Why, despite how many articles that@CommunityNotes links, can they not prove Mendel’s gene theory? Because Lysenko was right. Only Mendeloid NPC’s believe in genes." X's Community Notes added a context graph to this post, that read "The neo-Lamarckian theories of Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko has been conclusively proven as false. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… jstor.org/stable/41653570 encyclopedia.com/science/encycl…" The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts.
