Science took a major hit today, and most didn’t even notice.
The U.S. govt (or better elons cronies) shut down #PubMed, one of the most important, comprehensive, widely used, free database of biomedical and life sciences.
It provided access to millions of research articles clinical studies and reviews.
PubMed was a cornerstone of modern medical and life sciences research.
Edit: It seems to be an DNS issue that has not been resolved yet (for everybody)
It seems DNS servers have been shut down. Situation is unclear, but i guess we can not rely on this source fully anymore. Expect censoring at least.
Check out the european alternative:
@martinjuhasz They're not shut down, they're pretty dorked, though.
If you do a "dig www.nih.gov +tcp -t MX", you'll get an answer, but it won't be the MX's for NIH. If you do a "dig nih.gov +tcp -t SOA" you'll get an answer that looks vaguely right. If you don't do TCP, you won't get an answer at all.
Their DNS is broken, but not shut down.
