TL;DR

Science production graph should be with the other production graphs

What?

Currently the production statistics graph contains 5 tabs, Items, Fluids, Buildings, Pollution, Kills And the science production graph, seen by hovering over a currently researching tech can only be seen by hovering over a currently researching tech. I propose that this production graph be added to the production statistics. the same information should be available, the amount of ESPM (effective science per minute) being created, the estimated time to research completion, and a graph of current ESPM production

Why?

This should be done because it follows logically that a production graph should be in the production statistics tab, and its odd that it does not.

It feels a bit odd to do this because it isn't item production (kind of like adding pollution production to the production graph).

I am wondering what this does to the scale on the production graph... yeah producing and consuming 20K science packs per minute and what was that? 2.5M eSPM? And suddenly you can't see anything else on the production graph...
Perhaps giving eSPM its own tab like pollution or kills?
