A form of Digitallighting that weaponizes the language of science to gaslight targets into doubting their own [expertise], methods, or even sanity. The perpetrator accuses the target of “not [understanding] science,” “being anti‑science,” or “spreading [misinformation],” often in coordinated campaigns. Even when the target is a trained scientist, the repeated, public dismissal creates an alternate reality where the target is framed as an ignorant fraud. Sciencelighting is a common tactic in online harassment of researchers whose work challenges dominant paradigms.
