> As editor-in-chief of Science....Generally, I start with the corresponding editors' summaries, which are meant for someone like me: a science generalist who is interested in everything but dives deeply only into one field. Next, I check to see if someone wrote a News article on the paper. Third, I check to see if there is a Perspective by another scientist.
This says so much about the volume of absolute crap that gets published in Science. No competent editor-in-chief should be looking to the news media to give background on a research topic.
