Thanks for the rant! I'm with you. Many people probably would not read an article about incremental advances in science. As an economics topic, genomics may be turning into a bigger influence. For a scientist working incrementally, accumulating data, sieving it for information, fighting for grants, doing administration while making sure family gets three squares, articles like this may cause a wince. But they probably influence support for more funding. Pro scientists I know do not have time to read these articles and will never see them unless it's from someone else, but budding scientists, career-changers, influencers, all get misinformed. In short, news on science causes long-term damage for short-term gains.
