@johnnylogic I support what Sci-Hub is doing so the ethics question is a simple one for me. Just not sure if it'll land me in trouble.

@SandyKendell just checked my old Uni to see what the deal is for Alumni. Seems like I do have access! Thanks for the suggestion!

@johnnylogic I've heard of it but haven't started using it yet. Is it safe to use?

@SandyKendell thanks so much, that would be awesome!

@freemo that's awesome to hear! So glad Qoto exists!

I've actually written a Medium article about this! I really want to build an online community for people to do more independent science.

So I’m a science nerd. But now I’m not part of a university I've been completely cut off from the scientific community. Journals are behind paywalls and conferences are way too expensive for me to attend! Why is it so difficult to do independent science?
