This is the primary difference, I think, between someone who is in science (such as Alex) and someone who is into science (yours truly). I think science is mad cool, but I have neither the training nor the skills to follow most peer reviewed publications.

Which is, of course, also my situation for any topic outside my precise sub-specialty of physics. Biology for example is something I adore. The range of topics in which I understand (most) peer reviewed articles about current research, or can actually peer review them, is small compared to physics as a whole, let alone "science"
