Inspired by the 180 websites I will understand 52 academic papers in 52 weeks 13 years ago
I like the interdisciplinary focus and the commitment to reading science at the source. It seems many people have lost touch with science because it is "too hard to understand," they will "feel stupid," or because science has become a closed community behind pay walls. It would really benefit everyone to have more scientific literacy.
I am striving for something similar with a club, the Academic Journal Club, at my university. I hope to move much of the discussion online so others can benefit from our learning. This is our forum http://ajcutk.com/forum/
