Just today the following happened or hit the news
>150 year old Wiedemann-Franz "law" disproven
>new particle observed
>25 Tesla split-magnet costing 2.5million produced (interestingly this is close to what MRI's cost.. 8-16x the B field [over a smaller area] for about 2x the price)
>"vaccination' against heroin high produced
Guess how many of these popped up on /sci/
guess how many shitty threads that deserve to be on other boards, if on the internet at all, and troll threads/troll responces, popped up

granted, but also check how many of those were discussed on Newsvine, or any science forum for non-scientists.

I visit a couple specialized forums for discussion of news in my field of interest, but for overall science I haven't seen one yet that isn't a troll-fest.

point some out if you like.

i recall physicsforums being ok. maybe the oldschool usenet groups?

do you mind me inquiring as to what specialized forums you frequent?

what type of science?

>> No.3423630

>>3423585
You just listed things off reddit's science subforum.

It's still better then /sci/. The retards actually are in their technology forum.

>> No.3423633

xkcd's and Bad Science.net's.

>> No.3423636

>>3423629

>> No.3423638

>>3423636
smbc has a forum?

>> No.3423646

>>3423616
not physics.

I don't post 'em here, we don't need /b/tard invasions. They're only good forums because they're exclusive.

>> No.3423653

>>3423638
ehh thought you meant the comics. I'll have to check that out

>>3423646
fair enough this is hostile territory. what subject(s) are they?

>> No.3423670

>>3423653
paleontology and related- since that covers both climate and evolution we do our best to keep the fundies and trolls unaware.
