    To be fair, and when it comes to health and biology, Twitter >> HN. The comments on most bio-related posts here make me cringe.

      This. I read HN regularly, but for health and biology related information, I'd much rather turn to the various professional communities on Twitter. HN is at best "Lies my Bio 101 Professor Told Me" most of the time, and at worst a worked example of physicist/engineer's syndrome.
