What was the most interesting notable constructive paper in science last month? Anything missing in the Wikipedia article section this is based on? How could these works be used and what's your view about science at the fundamental level in regards to it as a service to society (organizational structures, priorities, efficiency, workforce/junior scientists, tools, metascience etc)?
For example last month there also were reports about a new "Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health" (ARPA-H) in the US. Should such things (including budget decisions) be included/aggregated there or somewhere too? What do you think about ARPA-H for example...were there ever threads about things like this (why are most thread-starters here still about vacuous topics and instead of meaningful meta/scientific issues)?
Do you integrate new scientific results somewhere, use scientometrics or develop anything related? I find the meaning, meta and usefulness aspects of science the most interesting, more interesting than e.g. curiosity- or job-driven execution of scientific work itself.
Science as a service to, stewardship of and goal of society seems to get severely neglected (for example it's still me who integrates most of the studies above into Wikipedia).
