Hey academics, what are we doing about the NIH open access policy? I submitted the paper pre-mandate for subscription because the grant ended, paper was accepted after mandate and now they're asking for $5200 to comply with policy. I literally do not have it. There is no grant and they won't budge.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.
