The nature of science is disappointment, no? Maybe this will work... Nope. Maybe this other way? Nope.
Now and again there's an actual advance and we rejoice, but if you keep an eye on cutting edge stuff it's got to happen a lot that some promising lead leads nowhere.
- rzzzt 5y agoReporting could be delayed until the advance happens. Even better if I can buy it in a store at that point.
- Fordec 5y agoI'll take "How we end up with scientists running around in circles making the same mistakes over and over." for $500. If you goal is to learn about things once they're stable and working, I suggest drop reading science journalism from your schedule and just start window shopping at electronics stores.
- rzzzt 5y agoOK, I was thinking more of summaries of summaries of university news portal announcements on tech sites (which this one is not). I am not against academic publications, scientists should definitely be acquainted with what is happening in their field.
