Re:Ask HN: What should we fund at YC Research? by return0 on Saturday January 30, 2016 @06:02PM (#11004207)
If i could pick just one, it would be academic publishing. It's an ancient system that locks in tons of useful empirical data and rots the roots of science with its publish-or-perish/impact factor lunacy. It's also a sector (digital publishing) which YC knows well and can easily make a great contribution. This can be a game changer, as it can alter the way public funding is allocated.
