Agree for sure, really love seeing the evidence and discussion in realtime as it shows us a better way to do worldwide science collaboration than traditional publishing. Really speaks to a need for a new medium specific to science's unique characteristics. One caveat tho is that hype can also distort and there's a limited resource of 'the public's excitement with science' that depletes if it never delivers, so I wouldn't necessarily couple science education/comms with science process so tightly. Most science is lots and lots of boring toil, and I'd hope the $$s flow to the best scientists rather than the ones who tell the most twitter-friendly stories.
