I actually post science here to an extent to force myself to read more stuff and in more depth.
I made an embarassing error in an article I just posted on something I have a passing familiarity with-hair cell stereocilia. But it is making me read that paper properly.
Or I increasingly never do any reading outside a very narrow area in science and tied to specific problem solving.

As long as I don't leave anything inaccurate up here, it is an exercise that helps me. I'd hate to give people wrong information. So it forces me to check my work.
