- Worth noticing
- The site says wrong claims get dated corrections, with the Short’s description pointing readers to them.
Field notes
The homepage lists two example subjects with author names, journals, and publication years: horseflies landing on striped horses and ocean glow visible to satellites. Its stated format moves the supporting detail out of a 40-second Short and onto a companion page, including what the research does not say. The site also describes a dated correction process and invites readers to report mistakes by email.
