> **Visual Context:** The image is a horizontal bar chart titled "Landmarks with Associated Cancer Deaths (2000-2018)" showing various U.S. landmarks and the number of cancer deaths linked to them, with Costco topping the list at 2,293,051 deaths, followed by Private Colleges (1,591,852), MLB Fields (944,769), and Superfund Sites (895,258), while Nuclear Power Plants account for 115,586 and Harvard 111,003. The chart satirizes a study claiming nuclear plants cause cancer by applying its methods to benign landmarks, demonstrating that this flawed methodology attributes cancer deaths to nearly any location.

> "A recent series of papers suggested that nuclear power plants are responsible for more than 100 thousand cancers. Using their method, every landmark we tested causes cancer,"
