Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

True, but also, people who are very good at research often aren't charismatic or lack the communication skills to explain their results to laymen. That's why, when Neil Degrasse Tyson gets interviewed, he'll talk about everything from climate change to evolution; he's not an interdisciplinary genius, but he's charming and able to explain complex topics in simple terms.

Yeah, this is the reason even if 'researchers don't respect so and so because he's a joke in the field' is said about a person, I think they are connecting the ordinary people with science so it's fine. Their job is not to innovate new frontiers of science, let them be the middleman so the ordinary folks aren't left out. Just look at now, we have a lot of "researchers" high on their horse, while ordinary people are taken in by pseudoscience and even harmful theories.
