>>12063613>this is why scientists hide their data behind walls right?We don't, publishers do. We hate paywalls, but publishing companies wormed their way in and started taking money to review/publish work, and then put them behind paywalls. We hate it so much, we demanded and created new open-source journals (elife for example). All scientists would be happy to give their work out, and try to do so as much as possible. A lot of labs have PDF downloadables of their papers on their websites. In fact, we do our best to advertise our papers and work, because we want our work to be seen by as many people as possible, because that's how your get famous.
> because the public won't stand retarded academics wasting money that could be used in the real world or for realistic research?The public is full of idiots, that's why we have scientists deciding where funding goes
>>12067169We use IDT, I like them better
also I don't think they ship to randos, pretty sure you have to be an institution/lab. I could be wrong
