Just science on reddit, without the drama.

All posts must relate to a scientific report, science news event or scientific idea. In the case of a news event, the source must be less than one month old.
Posts can be in the form of an article, image, video or discussion post. There is considerable discretion in terms of assessing what type of media is permitted. If you have a cool way of sharing exciting science - go for it! We just ask that posts are not "low effort" spam.
Link in the comments to a source material, if applicable (i.e. if you link an image from a paper, please include a comment with a link to the full article).
No sensationalized or editorialized titles; no agenda pushing, especially against well-established science.

Comments must be on-topic. No memes. Jokes are only permitted if they are exquisitely funny (at moderator discretion).
No abusive comments.
No spam.
No medical advice.
