Science 2.0

Founded in 2006, Science 2.0 was established to enhance the way science is communicated, published, collaborated on, and engaged with by the public. Our mission is to achieve the following goals: We aim to provide a platform where top scientists can share articles and discuss important topics freely, without the constraints of size or editorial biases. There are no political or cultural influences here, allowing readers to access high-quality science directly from the source and discover new knowledge. We strive to build a collaborative environment equipped with tailored tools that foster genuine teamwork among scientists. Additionally, we advocate for an open publishing model. The traditional subscription-based model is no longer sustainable, especially since taxpayers fund academic research. Therefore, they should have the right to access this information without any fees. While open access, which shifts the cost to scientists, is a step forward, Science 2.0 promotes a truly open publishing approach—where readers can read for free, and scientists can publish without any costs.

On Progress

4 days ago | science20.com | Tommaso Dorigo

The human race has made huge progress in the past few thousand years, gradually improving the living condition of human beings by learning how to cure illness; improving farming; harvesting, storing, and using energy in several forms; and countless other activities. Progress is measured over long time scales, and on metrics related to the access to innovations by all, as Ford once noted. So it is natural for us to consider ourselves lucky to have lived "in the best of times".
Hawaiian Lawmakers Pass Another Tourism Tariff - Scientists Included

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

Anecdotal stories claim U.S. tourism has plummeted due to Republican tariffs and enforcing immigration the way Europe and Asia do, and it will ruin the American economy. If that was true, lawmakers in America's most Democratic state, Hawaii, wouldn't have added another tariff. This one aimed solely at tourists. SB 1396 added a whopping 11% tariff for cruise ships that dock in a Hawaiian port and increased the hotel tariff to 19% of the room rate.
If You Buy Magic Rocks, You're The Target Market For HoLDI-MS To Detect Nanoplastic

Homeopathic levels of plastic are the latest environmental scaremongering fad (Nanoplastics! Microplastics!) dominating partisan corporate media when they are not suddenly simping for Trickle Down Economics, Vaccines, and Capitalism they distrusted just a short while ago. Naturally, companies are rushing to keep you safe from plastic which can be detected in everything.
Only Polarized People Want Companies In Polarized Political Issues

Last year, companies began to pull back from promoting their Diversity Equity Inclusion efforts and social justice activists blamed the incoming Trump administration. It has been a violation of federal law to discriminate for 60 years so to moderates it seemed odd to add a layer of discrimination in hiring, even one deemed positive. And they never considered it may have instead been done at all due to pressure from the previous administration.
PM2.5 Is Killing You, Claim Ecologists, Except There Are No Deaths

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

A new simulation claims small-micron particulate matter, so small you need an electron microscope to see it, is killing 250,000 people each year. PM10, 10 microns in size, is a well-known killer. That is wildfires and smog but after smog was drastically reduced in the 1990s, the target went down 400%, to 2.5. Suddenly air quality maps could be orange and red again, even though the air is cleaner in wealthier countries than it has been since the 1980s.
COVID-19 Border Closures Increased German Dislike Of Immigrants

Early in 2020, the President of the United States said America should cut travel from China due to COVID-19 concerns. This was dismissed as xenophobia by states like New York and California, because the World Health Organisation had not declared it a pandemic.(1)In Europe, 18 countries knew better than to wait for WHO to ignore claims from China that it was not a pandemic and closed their borders.
FDA Begins Inspecting Foreign Medical Manufacturing Imports

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

With retaliatory tariffs against the EU and countries like China and Brazil, there has been concern about how much medical commerce originates from overseas. It certainly does, and safety has long been an overlooked concern. Organic food has gotten a free pass, but that is just a USDA marketing gimmick so if 25% of it is fraudulent, no one is harmed, but medicines and devices can risk lives.
Opiate Of The Masses: Ancient Andes Used Hallucinogens To Keep People Positive

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

Americans like to be outraged by things, in 2025 the right is outraged by seed oils while the left is outraged about lack of capitalism, but older civilizations wanted people to stay calm. When we think of the Andes today, we may think of the Incas, but they were colonizers just like Spain. Some 2,000 years before the Inca the Chavín had extensive farms and art and architecture throughout what Europeans later named Peru.
The Night Sky From Atacama

1 week ago | science20.com | Tommaso Dorigo

For the third time in 9 years I am visiting San Pedro de Atacama, a jewel in the middle of nowhere in northern Chile. The Atacama desert is a stretch of extremely dry land at high altitude, which makes it exceptionally attractive for astronomical activities. In its whereabouts, e.g., are some of the largest telescopes in the world - the Cerro Paranal Very Large Telescope (VLT), and the planned Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) now being built in Cerro Armazones.
How Things Are Made

If the supply chain collapsed tomorrow, could you build a toaster? Would you really even want to try? People make homemade jam and all-natural weedkillers that are ironically stuffed with chemicals but no one makes their own toaster. It would be among the first things dismissed as unimportant in a post-apocalyptic world.
