Today on the show we are speaking with Etienne Fortier Dubois about the problems with scientific publishing and what an ideal future might look like: One where science is freely shared amongst all thinkers, not merely those within a discipline, or those with the institutional power to pay for access. Etienne is presently working on a new journal called the JAWWS - the journal of actually well written science. His goal is to reformat high impact papers so that they can be understood by anyone with a basic undergraduate level comprehension of the material. A fairly low bar in a society like the united states where nearly half of the population has a college degree. Our conversation expands into alternatives to peer review - a recurring point of contention on the show among outsiders and academics alike.
