Scihub is truly a gift to humanity! Thanks dr. Greger for advocating for free and freely accessible science for all.

[@v.a.n.e.]

you didn't realize what he was about, did you?

[@natalietannerblogger-theed9419]

Bless HER!!! It is a SIN that information that WE paid for is not unavailable. Thanks for letting us in on how to access. I appreciate all of your time, energy, and hard work that goes into this labor of love. May your grandmother be honored always.

[@v.a.n.e.]

c'mon ... don't you realize what he's doing? deliberately draws attention to her and even reveals some details that are not for everyone's ears. he wants to achieve the exact opposite, so that only he can continue to read the studies to us.

RIP Aaron. Long live Alexandra!

[@janetthoke8027]

Thank you Dr. Greger for sharing this! What an amazing young woman!

I work in biotech and Sci-hub is instrumental for us without infrastructure in place. As a grad student, post doc, and industry researcher I have written, edited and reviewed papers to which I have received no compensation and have to pay to access my own work. These journals are scamming all of us and hindering progress across the board. Alexandra for the Nobel.

YOUR SET UP TO THE FACTS IS SO UNDERRATED. MUCH LOVE DR

[@thebeardedvegan5110]

Thank you for sharing this and for remembering Aaron

[@tamcon72]

Wow, Doc Greger with the culture jamming! Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention, and for cheekily letting everyone know how to support this scientific endeavor as periodic crackdowns occur!

[@virtuosa69]

Thank you! 🙏💯

[@liviu388]

Thank you for everything, dr. Greger!

[@catecurl3790]

Absolutely astounded Dr Greger! About 6 years ago i stumbled across your good self,,,it occurs to me now, that were something to happen to you, thousands of people , people like me and everyone else trusting in you and yours, would have to live a life less informed, less hopeful, less healthy, less gobsmacked, so much less dr Greger, if not for you. May that day be far far away❤ Thanks for all that you do

[@ejholahan716]

Brava, Alexandra! Thank you, Dr. Gregor.

Money corrupts invariably :(

[@tonyk4615]

Dozens of dollars for a single article? Lol. I’ve seen articles in some journals that required hundreds of dollars for a single paper.

[@bubblybull2463]

The Radiolab podcast was first 😉 Their story about and interview of Scihub’s founder is well worth your time 👍

[@catecurl3790]

WOWEE!

[@stephenkling9976]

I commented here that when i eat just foods no multivitamin or fortified foods my neck and lips twitch and i gulp alot. Just realized it was from not enough salt

[@adastraedu]

even for those of us with access, the paywalls are so cumbersome, and there are so many different ones, that it is easier and faster just to go to scihub to get what we have a right to have anyway. The whole system is irretrievably broken. Even worse, incidentally, these journals still CHARGE RESEARCHERS to publish in them, and while it's true that there are costs to printed copies, those costs are already paid for by the subscribers many times over. Can you imagine these rapacious @**holes have the nerve to charge scientists for the privilege of publishing? How much do you think it costs them to review the article? Zero, it's done by other scientists who do it for reputation. So they literally provide near zero value. They do typeset the journal, and they do print (a bit) on paper. The criminals are the executives of the companies doing the publishing, who make their living by stealing other people's work.

[@trevorregay9283]

Wow...had no idea about this.......the human race? I don't know.....I'm almost embarrassed to be part of it....

[@UHaulShorts]

[@tamcon72]

Please take your conspiracy theory to Facebook, where it belongs.

[@now747]

Information needs to be controlled and the plebs need to be charged for it.
