@elonmusk Of course, our website could be re-coded for news articles instead of the 4+ million research abstracts we had up... [3/3]

[KnowledgeWorthy @KnowledgeWorthy]

@elonmusk Our beta was essentially a public rating system for *research* to help [a] reduce the crap research out there; and [b] help researchers connect at conferences via shared location. Our UX is/was similar but more dynamic than the old-school hotornot website... 2/3

@elonmusk @elonmusk Gotta admit we're disappointed... We tweeted to you about essentially this idea back when we beta-launched this past November and you ignored us. We took our site off a couple weeks ago, but here's the 1-pager: https://t.co/grmiGqXpaA

@kirkenglehardt OMG. The system that has been created has no concept of efficiency...

@girlandkat Great to see that Japan is holding this... we can only dream that the same will be done soon here in Seoul... :)

Anybody have ideas about how effective #scicomm would differ from any kind of effective #socscicomm? Or why #socscicomm gets so little airtime?

@irenehames @rburdine1 @PEERe_REVIEW Modifying pre-pub peer review can fix some issues, but those fixes won't dramatically affect relevance of research for society. Can't we work on a post-pub peer review system that better connects researchers to societal needs, & increase the incentives for usefulness to society?

@C0PE If anybody needs data to do research on post-publication review, we can offer the platform. Our beta is live. Contact us at [email protected].

If you have any interest at all in research into #peerreview, #peere2018 is one to watch this week: @PEERe_REVIEW conference, Rome, 7-9 March

@Knowledgeworthy visits @colderbaek and the office of @pluto_network on Friday. What are the problems and trends that deserve the most attention by today's existing startups in #peerreview, #scicomm, #citizenscience and #openscience? Help RT!

@2020science By cynicism I think you mean non-romanticism or a-romanticism. :)

[KnowledgeWorthy @KnowledgeWorthy]

@webmz_ @CocoNell2 @500womensci That's precisely why this recent ongoing #whatIdoin6words campaign is a bit silly. Those 6 words are almost always jargon-filled, and don't reach beyond the relatively small academic circles.

[KnowledgeWorthy @KnowledgeWorthy]

@2020science At first I thought you forgot the set of people that are trying to do something that's actually SCALABLE in #scicomm... and then I realized that maybe you did include that circle and I just don't have my magnifying glass with me to see it...

Terms that have different meanings for scientists and the public.

@saguaromelee @julien_hering Ah. I meant to say: essentially re-write the abstract in layman's terms, with roughly the same number of words.

@lsgardiner @iamscicomm I think maybe the easiest way to get something like haikus out there is to reach college students and high school students first -- kinda the old "Facebook" strategy, if you will. And then expand the audience from there...
