Most of the posts in this territory are links.
That makes sense, as science is usually best told by the experts. Or by journalists who are good at translating technical stuff into laymen's terms. I try to curate the best science articles that I find, in the hopes of keeping you up to date with the latest developments, and, occasionally, create grounds for some interesting discussions.
Now, what if we could have the experts present their research directly here? Tell you in their own words how they tell their grandmother at the family table why their research matters?
I'm sure we have some experts here. Even people who are maybe not doing the research themselves, but who have been reading articles on a specific topic and likely know more than the rest of us about it. I'm thinking of @ch0k1 who sends a lot of articles about black holes and space (I'm sorry I don't usually interact with these, it's quite outside my field of expertise), or @IamSINGLE who seems to be very interested in nanofarming (a comment they made triggered this post), or @calle who used to be a physicist before working on Cashu, or...
So, before I figure out how to attract outside experts to give their contributions here, I'd like to run an experiment...
So, here is the experiment:
If you feel you satisfy the above description of an expert, please write a quality post in the ~science territory.
What I am looking for is NOT ChatGPT boilerplate overview of a certain topic. I want to feel your own touch in the writing, personal experiences, anecdotes, mixing it up with "factual" science, links to articles, etc.
But as soon as I suspect it is LLM-generated stuff, I will possibly ask for feedback from the community, but there is a high chance I will not pay out anything. Also, it should be a long content post, not 3 paragraphs and that's it. I want to see some POW :)
I will pay default sats for effort (say, 1000k), and will then add more sats (say, 10k sats or more) if the content is really good.
This experiment may be terminated at any point.
