I want to boycott for profit journals and only publish in non-profit ones.
Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

What is MECFS? I assume I could look it up, but it seems likely you would welcome the chance to elucidate.
Don’t have the energy to explain right now https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Myalgic_encephalomyelitis%2Fchronic_fatigue_syndrome&wprov=rarw1
Well shit, I need to call my wife. The diagnostic criteria reads like an exact list of everything she has experienced in the past two years…
It’s the most common presentation of long COVID
I see.
Thank you.
Just publish preprints first
This, also publish subscriber only and secretly upload to sci-hub
Is there a way to specifically upload documents to scihub? Please tell me how.
Or do you mean the wosonj (or something like that) website?
While you can't directly upload to scihub, https://libgen.li/librarian.php is an option. Eventually some from here might end up in scihub but it doesn't matter.
edit: I knew a researcher who used to send articles (own and others downloaded through institute) directly to Alexandra over email. But that was a while ago, no idea if that still works.
You could perspnally deliver physical copies to universities across the country for that money.
and we wonder why the USA has a tendency toward anti-science.
You could buy 42300 loaves of bread with that money
And probably like several cartons of eggs!
63450 eggs!
Keep in mind that i am using romanian prices, the numbers may be much lower for other countries (for example, in the USA, you could probably only afford 3 eggs with that money)
19,802 eggs calculated using the price of a dozen eggs at my closest supermarket ($7.69).
Holy shit my expensive vegan alternative to eggs costs half that for 20 oz ( roughly equiv to 12 eggs I think?) where I live. Hope you do well.
Some fools will reflexively downvote any time they see the word “vegan,” yet I wouldn’t be surprised if knowledge of egg alternatives ends up making a difference in times like these.
With agricultural workers being deported and tariffs increasing the price of food sourced from abroad, Americans are going to have to get creative and flexible with their food habits. We don’t know yet how our grocery store shelves will end up looking, but if someone needs a substitute for an ingredient in a recipe, chances are a group of people already avoids that ingredient and thus has the knowledge of how to work around it. They may be vegan, they may have food allergies, they may have religious restrictions, or they may simply dislike a particular ingredient. Regardless of their reasons, the point is they’ve already experimented with recipes to figure out what works, which means the rest of us don’t have to trial & error everything ourselves.
Yeah, I love how easy it is to google recipes. Ten years ago this stuff was much harder. For completeness sake I mostly use recipes where one can exchange eggs for flax seeds, shredded in my mixer. The costly factory made egg replacement is better for e.g. quiche.
This is how we get to things in v for vendetta where it's like "I haven't had real butter in a decade" because it's so expensive (because animal byproduct) and only the oligarchs can afford it
$7.69
jesus, at this rate you might just start raiding local bird nests instead
$13 for a dozen at wal mart here in Columbus Ohio. Over a dollar per egg lol.
