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.

While Western Progressives Block Nuclear, China Builds 2 Coal Plants Per Week

3 days ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

On this day in 1989, protesters learned what American sympathizers refuse to realize - a communist dictatorship is not just American politics in a different language. They do what they want and you will comply or else. Violently. That is why China exempts itself from all climate treaties, claiming developing nation status, and western countries, and certainly the so-called United Nations, refuse to criticize them.
WISEcode: Psychologist Proposes A New Way To Exempt Processed Foods From Harm Claims

3 days ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

Processed and Ultra-Processed™ foods have been heavy-rotation buzzwords in the food activist community since the Obama administration but gained increased attention once the Trump administration came into power and a chief evangelist against modern food, former Natural Resources Defense Council lawyer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., was placed in charge of the world's most important government science agency, the National Institutes of Health.
The Way To Finally Make Organic Farming Sustainable Is To Allow Modern Gene Editing

4 days ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

The organic process is neither viable nor sustainable but a new paper would like to change that. By allowing modern gene editing. The only way Europe can reach the goal of 25% Organic™ farmland that its government-funded environmental groups demand, a 250% increase, is by moving into the 21st century, they argue. When the organic process was the only thing available, the food-rich were rich and the poor were poor and the only difference was being born into a natural breadbasket.
The Anomaly That Wasn't: An Example Of Shifting Consensus In Science

1 week ago | science20.com | Tommaso Dorigo

Time is a gentleman - it waits patiently. And in physics, as in all exact sciences, problems and mysteries eventually get resolved, if we give it enough time. That is how science works, after all: the consensus on our explanation of reality changes as we acquire more information on the latter. Take the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
For World No Tobacco Day, NFL Biosciences Wants You To Buy Their Tobacco Product

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

NFL Biosciences is has a Marketing Authorization Application for a smoking cessation technique derived from an allergen treatment in the 1970s that has been quietly used as an unauthorized smoking cessation tool for 10 years. A lot like vaping pens were before the Obama administration tried to claim all tobacco was as harmful as cigarette smoking, an actual carcinogen. And it works better than placebo, just like vaping, but lots of people have quit using hypnosis and we know that isn't science.
MAHA Report Is A Bridge Too Far Against Farming

2 weeks ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

Working people, and the poor, overwhelmingly voted for President Trump. Democrats seemed puzzled that The Deplorables they despise would vote for a candidate who offered lower costs of living. 'Red states use more government assistance' they jeered. That's the problem. As a former poor person, an organic farmer living in poverty before President Clinton made it a government-endorsed grift as a gift for progressive elites, I know cost is everything.
An Innovative Proposal

2 weeks ago | science20.com | Tommaso Dorigo

The other day I finally emerged from a very stressful push to submit two grant applications to the European Innovation Council. The call in question is for PATHFINDER_OPEN projects, that aim for proofs of principle of groundbreaking technological innovations. So I thought I would broadly report on that experience (no, I am not new to it, but you never cease to learn!), and disclose just a little about the ideas that brought about one of the two projects.
Disclosing AI Use Leads To A Drop In Trust. So Does Not Disclosing It

2 weeks ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

Chicago Sun-Times writer Marco Buscaglia used the popular LLM ChatGPT to create the 2025 "summer reading list" they wanted for subscribers and had enough confidence in the result that he didn't check the work. The problem was that LLMs are not really AI, despite claims by companies selling this stuff that they are. They are certainly not Intelligent. So while the list had real authors, half of the books did not exist. Human readers are not LLMs and they quickly noticed. The paper issued a retraction.
Does Ecology Have A Cultural Cancer?

2 weeks ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

A new paper argues that academic ecology is culturally corroded. 'Stay in your lane', 'do you want to die on that hill?' and other territorial and undermining behavior were reported by 44% of predominantly ecologists who responded to a survey. They say it was most common as graduate students, a third of the time by their own supervisor. Of those, 18 percent reported they had experienced it multiple times.
Who Paid For Prostitutes First, The Human Or The Monkey? The Chen Paper Turns 20

2 weeks ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

It is often joked that 'prostitution was the first profession' and, that it is not a profession aside, the sentiment may be true. Someone with a lot of food and the ability to prevent it being taken may have worked out a deal with someone who had no food but willingness to satisfy a different basic need. It would still mean food gathering was the first profession but that's not as funny.
