We openly tell researchers that crowdfunding isn't for everyone, at least not yet. If it isn't valuable for you, that doesn't mean it can't be valuable for any

We openly tell researchers that crowdfunding isn't for everyone, at least not yet.
If it isn't valuable for you, that doesn't mean it can't be valuable for anyone else. Just don't do it and wait around for others to validate it.
I don't believe you're being an asshole. You're just picking up the mantle that being a scientist automagically entitles you to know what's best for other scientists.
- vwinsyee 14y agoI'd have to share the parent's skeptism. I'm in biostatistics and neuroscience, and for the most part, could evaluate a stats or neuro proposal. But, if I were to look at, say, an astrophysics or physical chemistry research proposal, I'd probably have little to no idea on the proposal's merits. So I'm curious how Microryza will help non-domain experts evaluate proposals.
