I keep seeing references to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon all over the place lately...

This could be coincidence, synchronicity or déjà vu, unless it's merely hilarious. Because if seeing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon everywhere is in fact the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, then it becomes recursive. I'm guessing it is hilarious.

I'm losing track of all the references to scientist named phenomena: Baader-Meinhof, Dunning-Kruger, Gell-Mann Amnesia, etc.

It seems the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon wasn't named by or after scientists, if that's what you meant.

There's gotta be a scientist-named phenomena for that.
