I'm sure that, being a good scientist, you made sure this is sample is representative of the entirety of Argentina's science research, right? You wouldn't cherry-pick your data, would you?

It is not. This is just repeating the same braindead take from tweets that want to ridicule the institution.

On the other hand, I know several engineers and physicists that work there and have to make do with very scarce resources. Not just that, many of them end up working abroad because our education system is actually pretty good.
