Hmm you've inspired an idea. For stories like this, wish there was some browser extension that would link the study (maybe through user submitted content?) That way, users can avoid clicking the link altogether and just go read the study.
- enraged_camel 4y agoThe problem is most people aren’t qualified to correctly interpret scientific studies. Even if the abstracts are written in laypeople terms, the studies often contain important nuances.

- SideQuark 4y agoYour issues are not really resolvable. The nuances are complex, so you either need to cover enough depth to convey the accuracy, which will lose or bore too many readers, or you dumb it down enough to make it consumable by less sophisticated readers, and lose the nuance. And there's ample journalism over that whole spectrum. You just cannot have both accuracy and simplicity.
