A seemingly unintentionally ironic paper has just been published in Science titled “A HUMAN RIGHT TO SCIENCE“. I presume it’s an important paper because the title is in BLOCK CAPITALS. That’s about all I can tell you about it though, because it’s behind a paywall. 

bp;dr – Behind paywall, didn’t read.

A new acronym is going down a storm on Twitter this week, coined by @NeuroPolarbear. It describes this situation perfectly. So perfectly in fact, that I’ve added the term to urban dictionary, so we can all start using it. Hopefully one day, we won’t have to.
