I will say: Putting the link at the bottom of the article automatically makes this better than 90% of the "science journalism" I ever see.
Now for problem number two: I don't have thirty-two dollars (!) to spend reading this one paper. Neither do most other people who aren't already in the field.
For so long as the primary literature is behind these enormous paywalls, science will continue to consist of a tiny tiny percentage of humanity talking to themselves.
