Sure, but only if you require commenters to provably have some kind of background in biology. I know that’s problematic for a number of reasons, but it’s just too much work to “fight the good fight” and explain why everyone is wrong on every single post.

To be clear, I think the comments should be readable by anyone. Maybe there could be some way for laypeople to submit questions that were subject to more strict moderation. Maybe there's too much overlap with /r/askscience - but as long as I can read about biology without running into any "will mRNA vaccines make my DNA give away my GPS coordinates?"-style questions, it would be worth subscribing to.
