A mural celebrating #SciHub on the campus of @unam_mx in #CDMX. Reportedly painted by students without permission. 😲 #StreetArt
@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx forgiveness is the best kind of permission.
@ZaneSelvans how DARE those students paint their own campus without authorization! They must be expelled!! (no refunds)
@skotchygut @ZaneSelvans I'm not sure the university charges the students…
@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx
It's still wild as fuck to me that sci-hub's creators explicitly idolize stalin.
@ROBOT120807 @ZaneSelvans @unam_mx
Can‘t see any Stalin reference here.
@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx
¡hijole, qué chingón! (wow how beautiful)
@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx You do want ethical barriers in science though so not every barrier.

@niniotter @ZaneSelvans @unam_mx this is not about the scientific method, never has been.

It is about the access to scientific knowledge.

Furthermore, having access to a larger corpus of scientific texts is actually the way to show people that there are widely accepted ethical standards that should be respected in science.

@Omelette @ZaneSelvans @unam_mx Oh, I'm aware of all that, just making a wry comment.

@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx magnificent protest against a totally unfair and unnecessarily profit-driven scientific publication system.
I love it! 😍

#openscience #protest #artworks #science

@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx Alexandra Elbakyan would absolutely deserve a Nobel for how she allowed so many more people to have access to knowledge
@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx that motto tho,! , sounds like they want to remove the annoying ethics committee stopping their science....
@ZaneSelvans @unam_mx I love that mural! It's at the Faculty of Science where the undergrads majoring in math, physics, biology, computer science, actuarial science and a few other majors study. I'm a math professor at UNAM so when I teach undergraduate courses it's usually in a classroom very close to that mural. Here's a picture of me sitting next to it.
