e1r2bejklqjl | What do you all think of Neil deGrasse Tyson? This is a super random question but was just curious what other people in academia thought. Lately it seems like he goes on Twitter and tries to rain on everybody's parade with science. While I can understand having this attitude to pseudo-sciency things, he appears to speak about things he can't possibly be that extensively experienced in as if he's an expert of all things science. I really appreciate what he's done in his career and he's extremely gifted when it comes to outreach and making science interesting to the general public. However, from what I can tell he has a somewhat average record in research (although he was able to get into some top schools which is a feat in and of itself). I guess people just make him out to be a genius but to me it seems like there are probably thousands of less famous people out there who are equally accomplished? | [

This has led him to be commonly perceived as a pretentious and condescending douche who just relentlessly talks at/over someone instead of having a discussion. He just is such an unpleasant person to listen to - like when he was on JRE last time: https://youtu.be/egIKAK3SuiE. This is not to say that he isn't a great educator - he certainly has been a strong and beneficial promoter of scientific literacy in general. It just stands out to me that a lot of people think he is a dick because of his interviews.",

e1r2be3p72qq | What do you all think of Neil deGrasse Tyson? This is a super random question but was just curious what other people in academia thought. Lately it seems like he goes on Twitter and tries to rain on everybody's parade with science. While I can understand having this attitude to pseudo-sciency things, he appears to speak about things he can't possibly be that extensively experienced in as if he's an expert of all things science. I really appreciate what he's done in his career and he's extremely gifted when it comes to outreach and making science interesting to the general public. However, from what I can tell he has a somewhat average record in research (although he was able to get into some top schools which is a feat in and of itself). I guess people just make him out to be a genius but to me it seems like there are probably thousands of less famous people out there who are equally accomplished? | [

That the indigenous people's DNA was too limited, and they needed to be put back in contact with the rest of humanity or some nonsense. I think that he is neither an expert on genetics, nor the history of New World colonization. So I wonder he felt so comfortable in taking on such a polemical topic in such a flippant manner.",

"content": "He is great at that part of science that is often overlooked: outreach. And I think that outreach is fundamental part of the economics of research. At the end, most of the hardcore theoretical science is funded by the government, aka the taxpayer, so it is very alarming, in my opinion, when they have little to no idea of what science is doing or what is the purpose. As the gap between frontier knowledge and the average joe widens, plus the current populist wave, I can see a future where the people start asking, wait, why are we funding all of these pretentious people that won't even take time to explain themselves? Luckily there are people like Neil deGrasse.",

The problem is that it's not just with science that he acts that way. Via the vector of history of science he often ventures into making historical statements that are nonsense or at the very least uncareful with what seems like complete confidence and authority, even though he has no expertise there.",

"content": "What do you all think of Neil deGrasse Tyson? This is a super random question but was just curious what other people in academia thought. Lately it seems like he goes on Twitter and tries to rain on everybody's parade with science. While I can understand having this attitude to pseudo-sciency things, he appears to speak about things he can't possibly be that extensively experienced in as if he's an expert of all things science. I really appreciate what he's done in his career and he's extremely gifted when it comes to outreach and making science interesting to the general public. However, from what I can tell he has a somewhat average record in research (although he was able to get into some top schools which is a feat in and of itself). I guess people just make him out to be a genius but to me it seems like there are probably thousands of less famous people out there who are equally accomplished?",

"content": "For the most part, the only people I've seen who have strong negative feelings about SciHub are those involved in the academic publishing industry. There are vague concerns I've seen others express about whether copies of papers downloaded from SciHub are legit (i.e., that someone may have uploaded a fake paper using the doi of a real paper, etc), but I've never seen anyone provide an example of this actually happening. Ultimately, there needs to be some middle ground. The economic model of most academic publishers is not sustainable and it's extremely exploitative, but at the same time publishers do add value to manuscripts (not anywhere near enough to legitimize what most charge) so there needs to be some mechanism for publishers to at least recoup their losses. SciHub fills a niche at the moment, but the hope that most of us have (I think) is that it won't have to exist forever as more authors, universities, and funding agencies push back on the academic publishers and we more toward a more sustainable model.",
