I'm not sure you appreciate how hard this might be for someone who is not closely connected to a project.
The people who can do that reliably will have: a) the academic chops on a similar level of a peer reviewer b) social media skills. a) puts them back in the bracket of people you don't want to 'slow down'.
- the_omegist 6y agoWell I agree but I see it like a pyramid. You don't have to worry about people at the bottom of the knowledge pyramid getting access to the last breakthrough in some field if they don't already know the basics about that field. They will naturally access it when they "climb" this pyramid of knowledge through more specialized sources or studies. More over : the population of people who are good at doing something isn't necessarily the same as the one good at explaining it. It's like saying Newton would have to spend 20% of his time explaining to 14yrs old kids what he's doing when someone less capable than him would do it as good but would leave Newton free for what he does best.
