Hi there, I would like to talk about paywalls
Today I had a rather large article drop in Slate and there was a soft paywall. A lot of people commented upset about that paywall
Let's talk about:
a) how to get around paywalls
b) why you shouldn't be mad about them

Just about a year ago I wrote about the toxic water crisis in Texas and included this quote:
“If they ruin the water out here, there won’t be anyone left. This will be a desert with no inhabitants,” he said from his dining room table. “It’s only a matter of time.”

Researchers conducted this investigation using donated antibodies from patients who had recovered from COVID-19. Analyzing how these antibodies interacted with the virus, they found one that attaches to a region of the virus that does not mutate often.
