      That’s too bad - I’ve seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.

        I am a scientist and you are right. If I get a message asking for my work, I will send it. It will also make me happy that someone is interested. It happens regularly, usually via researchgate.

          As the first author of a fair few papers during grad school, I don’t have that email address anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also not in academia.

            I was trying to get more info on a paper I read for a final project in my senior year. Couldn’t get anything back. Their PhD thesis was on spotted lanternflies and how temps impact them

        Lazily reasoned misanthropic nonsense, if every scientist were of this zero-sum mindset they’d all have long since transitioned to industry roles in engineering for the higher average pay alone.

        I’m a researcher and i would gladly send anyone a paper who asks, without a reason needed. Although all my papers are open access anyways so shrugs. Btw it’s also not unusual that people may just ask some questions related to ones paper via email and im always happy to answer those. I believe that most researchers are always glad to share their expertise and findings (as long as it isn’t a huge effort ofc).
