[3dem] WIRE: all cryo-EM lit cited outside of public domain

[Jacopo Marino]

Instead of marking the paper about SPIDER in red (to cite one), the 
journalist could have done a better service by trying to explain to the 
large audience what that article is about, and why it contributed to the 
Nobel Prize.

An increasing number of people uses the internet to find answers to 
their medical-related problems, and unfortunately there is vast body of 
wrong information around, which is often more understandable than 
scientific facts. Such wrong information can lead to extreme cases, as 
movements anti-vaccines, for example.

I feel that the article on TheWire could have helped bringing scientists 
and  the public a bit closer; it has missed a precious opportunity.

Best regards,

Jacopo.
