Absolutely. Press releases will always overhype research to make it interesting to read. It is unfortunate those in the scientific community feel they need to do this. Many institutions pressure their researchers to submit these press releases so they can show off what they do to the public. As I type this, I realize how the institutions themselves feel they need these public summaries for their survival. Would taxpayers ever support research if they don’t understand it??
Perhaps what is most needed is to drop the spin and hype while still informing the public about the scientific process and results!
Congrats! I however have only read the abstract and surmised it might be pretty cool. If only there were no paywall…
