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.

And my π¦!
If scientists didn't have to pay obscene prices to view articles, those articles are cited more often. Who would have thought?
I personally like scihub because it's easier to get papers off of rather than going through ny library's portal for a lot of journals.
One of us.
So making access to information free is helping scientific progress? Wow, who could have imagined that!
Careful, lest the AI haters hear that.
Free papers = free access to information
LLMs = trash
The AI haters I've seen really hate free access to information. Well, there's apparently other kinds.
Very misguided.
ikr?
In your eyes, what are these AI haters complaining about?
Seems to be mainly about property owners not getting enough rent.
I'm not sure you have understood that people don't want to profit from their data, they want to avoid corporations stealing their private texts and pictures to train models they'll profit from.
Is this some weak attempt at gaslighting? If you want to make a career out of this, you really need to up your game. I mean, can you imagine some think tank going: Landlords don't want to profit from those apartments, they just want to avoid people squatting in them for free.
I donβt know if itβs just my field or if Iβm searching wrong, but I get almost nothing when I look for papers about German grammar and language instruction. Is this mostly for more mainstream/hard science papers?
Idk if itll help but have you tried annas archive? It mirrors multiple science piracy sites.
Edit:do you mean pedagogical materials or research? Cause I don't think you'll be lucky if it's the former.
I have tried it, but also not had any luck. I am looking for research, but itβs still a really narrow field, tbh. Even in Germany, I think there are only a handful of DaF/aZ postgrad programs.
So yeah it's probably your field! Sorry about that. Fwiw I don't think the problem is that it isn't 'hard science', I find it easy to find philosophical works (German, English and French language ones). It's probably just too niche.
I can't speak for your field or language but someone has to upload it. Content in German and about grammar sounds very specific. Maybe there's a lack of interest on scihub. Ask around in your circle where they share/get their articles
Noted. Will upload my future papers on SciHub myself. /j. Or am I? Vsauce music plays Did you know vegetables are a social construct?
Thanks Dropout!
A sandwich is also a social construct. But not every social construct is also a sandwich.
Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.
I have never ever gotten a response from a researcher :(
That's too bad - I've seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.
Why wouldn't they be? It's not like they're getting royalties from these journals...
Not owning it can get them in trouble for sharing
It depends on the publishing agreement
