Hacker News Reader

Have you seen eLife's Lens reader? Example article is at http://lens.elifesciences.org/#00772

They took a fresh, web-centric look at how to interactively display research papers. It's being used — right now — to display all of the new articles from a major biology journal.

I think it's quite nice.

Cool, I hadn't seen that.

Personally, I think that things like this Lens reader are evolutionary advances, but science communication needs a revolutionary change.

I don't expect actual journals to be using Gingko any time soon, but there are already grad students collaborating on research papers right now :)

Wow, this is so much nicer than PDFs. Thanks for the example.
