@grrlscientist

First thought was “What? Nature too?”

So I checked. Truth is, respectfully, that this screenshot depicts a user experience that I could not reproduce.

Fact: The pdf of the article was/is easily found and accessible via nature.com today, without a subscription, or login, or university IP.

URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/356739a0 doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/356739a0

The PDF: freely accessible from that URL. https://www.nature.com/articles/356739a0.pdf

Don't let the paywall stuff stop you...

The 1992 (!) article appears to be in free #pdf form...

@grrlscientist While the article's title combined with rather expensive paywall/subscription makes a chuckleworthy combination, the 1992 article happens to be free to read. The inaccessibility discussed is language: can scientific articles be read without being an expert on the subject or not.

Misleading pic, interesting article.
