Science is too slow for journalism. We need conjecture and controversy, and we need it fast.

we also need... mods to do stuff here

I want to start a legit science sub soon, where scientists discuss papers in depth and only direct links to studies are allowed with original titles

I’ve wanted to do a StackOverflow-style site for that for awhile. I think a club/group/movement for this would be cool, so I hope you do. People with credibility making supported arguments. Like the exact opposite of Reddit, where strangers make emotional arguments for whose line points. It has a place, but I don’t think pushing the boundaries of science or education is it.
