Full Nettle Bitch on Nostr: Any scientist declaring their research into a taboo topic, like autism and vaccines, ...

Any scientist declaring their research into a taboo topic, like autism and vaccines, knows they have cut their careers off at the knee

it won't matter where they print it

and if they go anonymous, there will be derision on the lack of transparency

I like the idea but ATM its likely to be wasted effort

two broad ideas

1) perhaps a crowd funded BTC reward tied to something concrete or useful. That would have to run into the millions of dollars to make the cut methinks

2) a Decentralised peer reviewing situation in which anyone can make comments, request data sharing on a study. people can be anonymous or not.

perhaps scientists can zap one another for making useful constructive comments

maybe a scientist that puts up their research can request commenters place a sats bond for good behaviour, and reward for useful help

it's this final one I think srNds a chance of getting used (and it's needed because scientists can be fucking nasty children and jealous time wasters)
