Homosexual Botanist

Ex-emo tumblr boy turned plant ecologist returning to tumblr in his adulthood. Outside of my research, I like music, poetry, anime, men, and other assorted, fascinating things.

I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post. 

So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.

do not fear! copy the link to the article

go to sci-hub.se         (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)

slap the article link in there

bam! free access!

Anyways it’s a shame modern day ecology is moving more towards urban systems and studying how humans interact with the environment. It is very important to study this but it interferes with my goal of being a hermit scientist who runs around in the forest catching frogs and interacts with a total of five (5) humans a year

Folks, deserts are not “empty” or “lifeless” they are often teeming with beautiful and incredible life adapted to conditions of extreme dryness. The widespread idea that deserts are lifeless or that the wildlife there isn’t important is something that businesses of all types (mining companies, housing developers— especially true here in AZ— and even commercial farmers) take advantage of in order to continue exploiting desert habitats.
