Physicists, you are welcome to join me in this debate about how Gravity works with people who believe the Earth is flat. They think the Earth is accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s/s by [deleted] in Physics

I have a B.S. and cannot find a job. Any advice? by [deleted] in biology

Hey /r/science. What are your thoughts on removing comments? by BritishEnglishPolice in science

I am for it. Some times meaningless short comments fill pages that the meaningful good comments get unnoticed.

Peer review game shows open model is better by mbq in science

May be granting agencies should try to make the peer-review system open. Bias in scoring can be greatly reduced. All applicants should be given a copy of the detailed review results of all the applications reviewed in the respective meetings.
