There's definitely fatigue around science news where media orgs massively over inflate or prematurely celebrate. Without actually being in the field yourself it's impossible to tell if any discovery is a nothingburger, 20 years away from meaning anything, or about to change the world. And most of the time it's the first two.



Currently my source of truth is Sabine Hossenfelder, on YouTube. Worth a look.

EDIT: she has a video on this[0] from 9 months ago! There you go.

That's true, but I was more commenting on the loss of science from the public subconscious and our media outside of 7 second tiktok videos that link to current trends.
