I did a first read of three excellent microbiome/metagenomics papers this morning!
first up, "Light into the darkness: Unifying the known and unknown coding sequence space in microbiome analyses" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… - with a beautiful accompanying blog post! merenlab.org/2020/07/01/dar….

It's been really interesting to see pro-preprint/openscience "speed of communication" come out of COVID-19 experience. I'm 110% pro-rapid communication between scientists! But.
the downsides are hopefully also clear. As soon as scientific results _matter_ in a hard-nosed way (masks? no masks? vaccine?) they're subject to misinterpretation, disinformation campaigns, etc. And many of us scientists are _really_ bad at contextualizing our results.

Maybe? I am very much on board with the general point ($$!) but have a few additional thoughts. cc @nayafia esp.
@nayafia first, it is not clear to me that most projects know how to channel money. (some big ones certainly do! but I would be disappointed to see only the big projects succeed.) so simply giving money to people might not help.
