I recently found the solution to inaccessible #science papers, it is called unpaywall: https://unpaywall.org/
Using the browser extension immediately found me this: https://www.nature.com/articles/356739a0.pdf

I am not trying to detract from the point here, I also agree this is a real problem and we should be seriously looking at how science is shared with the public. But it is definitely worth spreading the knowledge of this workaround.

@Duncan @nutjob4life There's also the #icanhazpdf hashtag on the flaminghellbird site, seems to be getting some traction in the #fediverse. If you use it with a link to the paper with an email address, a kind academic uses their institutional subscription to retrieve and emails you the paper as an attachment. Then you delete your squawk / toot. That method has helped me out a few times.
