- dr_kiszonka 5y agoThis is interesting. My first reaction is that the upvotes there are not a measure of quality because, I assume, they are based mainly on titles and abstracts. But I will try to use that site a bit more, so thanks for sharing.
- crystalmeph 5y ago“We did it Reddit” stands starkly counter to your recommendation. I don’t know what the answer is, and I’ve been worried for a while that we are putting blind faith in “science” which just lines up with our preferred worldview. Maybe the answer is simply to use science, however it is performed, to inform, not guide, policy, and always keep in mind that what science believes has a non-zero chance of being politically-driven itself.
