momscience 

Stuff your mom heard about in the 70's but was proven to be wrong a while ago.

guy 1: You shouldn't eat too many eggs, they're bad for you.
guy 2: No, that's momscience. A large study was done several decades ago that showed a high correlation between eggs and high blood serum cholesterol, but subsequent studies have shown this to be a rather small effect, and nothing to be concerned about. The original study was flawed.

Mesoscience

An area of study within metascience that examines everything that exists within and between the sciences—the relationships, interactions, boundaries, and exchanges that connect different scientific disciplines and communities. Mesoscience asks how knowledge flows across fields, how methods translate between disciplines, how boundaries are maintained or crossed, and how interdisciplinary work actually happens. It studies the space between sciences: the collaborations that succeed, the translations that fail, the concepts that migrate, and the practices that remain local. Mesoscience reveals that science is not a unified enterprise but a complex ecosystem of interacting communities, each with its own culture, methods, and standards—and that understanding science requires understanding these interactions.

Example: "His mesoscience research traced how a concept from physics migrated into biology, transforming along the way. The idea changed, the methods changed, and the communities changed—that's what happens in the space between sciences."
