If I had an orchard, I'd work 'till I'm sore

Found this on facebook but reposting to SAVE A LIFE.

This is true! I was writing a fanfiction and found an article that would be a great reference so I sent an email to the professor who wrote it with my .edu email and told him it was for a “personal project”. Never give upon your dreams kids

I am married to a professor and it is indeed all true. The only reason they bother publishing 90% in a fancy journal of their papers is because their university requires them to publish in those paywalled journals for promotion or tenure, or else it doesn’t count. Professors are not paid ANY money from journals.

They’d do the research anyway for the love of the topic, but they’d be a lot happier releasing it for free to the world.

This DM I got. Five years apart

i've said this before but it's so crazy that some of you just grew up with tornadoes. if i saw one twister snake down from the clouds in front of my physical eyes i would become a mad priest for the rest of my life. and people from kansas are just like "lmao yeah that's why we had basement prom that one year" or whatevr

A lot of people on this website make great points that could be phrased a lot less condescendingly
