i like that "open access" label just below the paywall
Why is this (I presume scientific) paper written like an opinion piece?
What will it take to make our undergraduate and graduate researchers, our postdoctoral interview candidates, our faculty and our academic leaders reflect local and global populations — and why should we bother?
It looks like an opinion piece because the article is a comment. It indicates that at the top of the article. Scientific journals often solicit a small number of commentaries that address issues in their field.
It sounds like a Lemmy post
As the world erupts with demands for racial justice, the chemistry community has the obligation, opportunity and momentum to drive for diversity and inclusion in the sciences. Efforts towards that end must begin by allocating opportunities for success on the basis of potential, not privilege, and follow through by soliciting and acting upon feedback from the scholars we have recruited.

Add a citation counter below it to keep track of how far you’ve come.
Citations: ||||| ||||/ ||||| ||||\ ||||| |||
To really go hardcore, the counters should be brands, not tattoos.
QR code for the DOI would be better IMO
Might be obsolete after a bit though. A QR code only points to a URL and that might change (unlikely, but after 20 years...)
QR codes can contain just about anything, including the URI (doi:foobar) form that the tattoo uses. QR codes themselves will probably go the way of USB: In a million years there's going to be someone looking at the driver code saying "you sure we can't get rid of those early versions" just for someone to chime in saying "your keyboard still uses USB1".
A QR code can also just contain plain text. It's just usually used for URLs.
Plain text can also encode plain text. Why are we complicating this?
Because you can't read the article by reading it's number, and there isn't enough room for the whole article on normally visible parts of the body (not to mention the cost of that tattoo).
The QR code would give you a way to copy/paste the id so you can actually give and, you know, read the thing.
because a qr code containing the ~15k characters of the paper would be a full back piece of tiny dots. Probably unreadable anyways.
Wonder what an appropriate error correction level would be for QR tattoo
Probably loads less then you would need for signage. I reckon you could get away with no redundancy if you went with a large enough base size on the grid.
You can go as far as replacing the square “pixels” with circular dots and it still reads fine, qr codes are kind of amazing.
Awesome!
DOIs are forever. It's why they exist.
You can make QR codes that copy text to a clipboard right? Can't you just make it a DOI search term? Or pay $2/yr for a redirect domain that you can point to where you want later
Sure, but that $2/yr company goes out of business after 10 years and the QR code stops working.
I guess making the number just copy into your clipboard would be a decent option, but you can also just copy/paste text from images now, so why go through the trouble of QR coding it when that only makes sense to a computer?
Even if your registrar goes out of business ICANN will help you restore the domain with a new registrar.
Source it happened to one of my customers.
A numerical .xyz domain costs less than a dollar a year, and you can make as many redirect links as you want.
It costs less than a dollar for the first year. After that, who knows.
The plain text is much more reliable than any url.
Use the search tool below to innovate on the affordable class of .xyz domains made up of 1.111 billion possible 6-digit, 7-digit, 8-digit, and 9-digit numeric combinations, between ‘000000.xyz’ through ‘999999999.xyz,’ now 99¢ per year, every year.
This is from the registrar itself back in 2017.
Where are you getting domains for $2 per year?
Namecheap xyz domains are less than $3 after tax for the first year. Subsequent years are around $10.
That's not really $2 per year. Info domains used to be dirt cheap, but even those are pretty expensive after the first year now.
You can get word-vomit domains that are made for QR/imbedded links. No human is typing those out and they do nothing for SEO, so they're a pittance.
.xyz Domains that are just numbers are $1 per year. and netcup has a deal a few times a year that prices .de domains at 1,30€ per year.
A QR Code encodes a string of text. In can be a URL, or anything else. Like the DOI string above, a quote, or whatever. You can't do full Unicode I think, it's 8859-1, or something like that, although there's also an Asian variant.
But your camera phone can already copy text. If it's a tattoo about the first paper you wrote, whatever you make needs to work for 60+ years. Text is always going to be valid, who knows when QR codes will become obsolete. 60 years ago you'd be getting a tattoo of a punch card, and that would be mostly meaningless today.
My camera phone can’t copy text :(
(Original iPhone SE, so not recent, but not ancient or a flip phone or anything)
I was just addressing the fact that QR Codes were only for URLs. As for whether they'll be around in 60 years... Barcodes have proved to be fairly resilient.
Good for her, well done! Not as pretty of a tattoo as a well-drawn organic molecule, IMO, but publishing is hard and worthy of celebration when you succeed.
But also different title and authors 🤔
And a different doi than in the tattoo. But without a paywall!
You know what doesn't have a paywall either? THESE girls!
Awww basket void
Tortie, actually, but yeah, she DOES love baskets, as does her sister 🥰
Well crap.
That's pretty dope.
Wow that’s a cool way to celebrate
