I don't. Most Quanta articles have this pattern: they pepper the article with quotes from famous professors and only mention the authors in the middle of the page. I suppose one could argue this provides context and is a kind of attestation to the importance/relevance of the work. But I don't think this is right.
To me, I want to know who the authors are in the first paragraph. They deserve the credit. The famous professor quotes should come later.
