Maybe if you are a dunce lol Oh you were lumping masters and PHD programs, I was thinking just masters program for some reason Also, the actual studies are a much more difficult hurdle than the textbooks. Anyone can sit down and read through a textbook. The studies require (most often) a large amount of background knowledge and training to understand. That's not to say that people shouldn't try, especially since the studies that the public usually gets really excited about are ones that are pretty accessible to the layman. The meat of the studies, where they explain all the procedures, data, calculations, etc. is tough for sure. But you can dive into the Abstract, Intro, and Conclusion without much difficulty in a lot of the popular studies like you said are more accessible. You don't need to understand all the formulas after you read a paper, but you can at least get an idea of why they did the study, what they think the data shows, and areas where the study was lacking or could be inaccurate. --- Hello world! ...
