I’d like to ask better questions about biology, quickly. This is hard, particularly in fields I have no experience with. There’s no general solution to this problem, but there are things that seem to help. I’d submit that reading papers is actually, in isolation, a potentially dangerous activity. Sure, it’s better than doing nothing. But papers are generated in a rich social context that you don’t have, with important subtext you might completely miss.
