Even if scihub is blocked by your internet provider they have a telegram bot that gives you the articles provided you give them a doi or issn

Works pretty well, scihub is blocked in France if you don’t have access to the academic internet provider, but this bot isn’t

Also unpaywall is an addon for all the classic explorers that gives you freely legally accessible PDFs when they seem like behind a paywall

And finally, more and more researchers are publishing their preprints for free on web archives, the most well known here being Hal and ArXiv

I made a tiktok account. I don’t know WHY.

11/3/2022 // slow and steady

I’m still struggling to work, as my anxiety is through the roof, but I’m trying to work, slowly, steadily. Coping with the state of the world and my personal life is hard. Academia is hard. But I find some sort of joy in all of this.


Also, I have a nephew! I’m an aunt for the very first time! He’s 15 hours old now and as cute as they get.
