A professor I follow once said Nature isn't as prestigious as people think, they just publish such a high volume that people have gotten that impression
I subscribed to Nature for a couple of years and although I am not a proper academic and maybe not the best judge, the articles in Nature sometime looks like they belong on vox.com or wired and not in a scientific paper.
As in opinions presented as evidence, from an almost random person, without actually providing any.
Especially around social subjects like the BLM protests.
One thing I loved about 60 minutes back in the day, was their ability to present a story from multiple points of views.
When I started reading Nature at my former employers, many many years ago, I felt their articles were like that.
At some point it started to look like cherrypicking a single viewpoint, often with obvious political taint.
Maybe it was always like that and I just used to idolize it.
I still very much love the magazine though but stopped subscribing. Its really expensive.
When I get my hands on a copy these days I just filter what I perceive as woke crap from the rest and skip those articles.
I wonder if that is such a good thing…
