science, paywalls, the jpeg is strong with this one
@bhtooefr At some point, I started noticing that wikipedia has more and more high quality articles written like chapters in a math textbook. But maybe this isn't that useful: Is math related to science?

@zachdecook I suspect you won’t find that type of material about cutting-edge mathematical research on Wikipedia, though - it’ll be paywalled in a journal.
The problem is that cutting-edge scientific research is more applied than mathematics, and therefore is far more immediately relevant to peoples’ needs… so being hidden behind paywalls (and often distilled by non-expert media) hurts the quality of scientific discourse in society.
