What places are the best to do and receive literary critiques?

The only ones I know of are

>/lit/ - LCT: Sometimes acceptable critiques. Most posts go unnoticed without critiques

>Critique Circle: Usually useful critiques. You have to do three critiques to receive one. Each story you post will be available for critique six days after uploaded.

>Writing Cafe: Usually useful critiques. Critiques are rarely made by strangers like on the ones above, but by people on your friend list and to whom you previously send them a reading request.

>Are there any strong modern criticisms of science?
There aren't any strong criticisms about the modern scientific method that I'm aware of, but several philosophers of science (and some physicists as well) did some harsh criticism at the new proposed "scientific truth" at a string theory convention back in the 90's.
Basically some physicists, string theorist to be precise, proposed a scientific truth based not as much in empirical evidence but in descriptive models mathematically consistent. Long-story short: philosophers of science criticized such concept of scientific truth because there aren't any strong arguments to change the way physics has been done since Galileo, furthermore, there is a name for what descriptive models with no empirical evidence are: metaphysics; not something physcists were very happy to hear, but philosophers of science still consider some branch of physics, e.g: string theory and quantum mechanics, not strictly science, in the former because of the lack of empirical evidence for quite a long time, in the latter because the lack of a consensus of an interpretation of qm which, according to some philosophers of science, is a fundamental characteristic of scientific disciplines.
