Looks like we are all worried about how our coffee consumption affects our lives. 🙂 StudyGrader is great idea for a project–I am going to look more closely at this. I would also like to brainstorm ways to better connect scientists and journalists, since I think the current relationships tend to be mutually exploitative in a way that is not necessarily beneficial to increasing public knowledge. Would love to discuss further!

And you strike a balance of the factors that subvert supposedly objective science. Journalists themselves have similar pressures, between profit and peer credibility. I’m interested in many of the challenges you mention here, including providing relevant contextual information and critiquing shoddy coverage of science (see my final project last year: http://www.studygrader.com/). I’m excited to see where you go with this.
