Well it's from science.org (org being more sciency than com, but maybe not as so as edu?), and Science is in the headline and is even the name of the website. So it must be.

Check out this scientific headline from the site: "diverse South African scientists get superhero alter egos". Newton would be so proud.

I'm not understanding the grievance here: are you upset that a science publication has a "People & Events" section (not a particularly new phenomenon), or that the contents of an article in that section is a human interest piece about diversity?

Not the OP, but actually putting the word "diverse" into a title makes it seem performative (talking the talk) rather than demonstrative (walking the walk). Science should really be more about the latter.

Sure. But I don't think the article claims to be scientific? It's a human interest piece.

science.org is the website for AAAS which published Science, a journal. I mean, sure, the joke in science is that being published in Science is a guarantee the results are wrong, but... this is just the news section of a science journal.
