Glasp's user base is disproportionately credentialed: 1 in 5 holds an advanced degree. They read neuroscience at 4.4x the global publishing rate and health fields at 2x. This suggests professional specialists and academics are using public annotation tools to signal expertise and curate knowledge rather than relying on institutional paywalls or closed research networks. The pattern reveals genuine spike in neuroscience and biotech attention among knowledge workers, but also reflects algorithmic bias—Glasp's visibility into reading habits captures only the most engaged, publicly-sharing researchers, not the broader specialist ecosystem.
