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]( https://steemit.com/suesas-sciencechallenge/@suesa/suesa-s-science-challenge-results) 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.

Plagiarizers will be immediately disqualified. If you’re a known plagiarizer you’ll be disqualified even if your entry itself is legit.
