So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | No one told me there would be perks. Monday, April 23, 2007 @ 11:51 am Being a recent graduate in the biomedical sciences, I felt impotent for a while after graduation because I had lost my institutional affiliation with Pomona College/Honnold Mudd Library of the Claremont Colleges and could therefore no longer access many articles through PubMed. Since I did not go straight to graduate school and I did not get a job right away, I could not replace my affiliation in order to access these scientific articles, which sucked because I was/am taking classes that are made much easier by having 24/7 access to the articles in the database. Today, during the cell activation seminar, we discussed our final presentations--due in less than a month--regarding a major cell signaling pathway of our choice. Immediately after class let out, it donned on me that I was going to have to go to Stanford to track these articles down in hard copy and photocopy them all because of my lack of institutional affiliation. I freaked out for a little while and tried to think of ways to circumvent this--begging friends with the ability to get me articles to retrieve them electronically and send me the pdf files, asking the professor to do it for me, forking out the big bucks for temporary access to a journal or journal article--needless to say, none of those options look appealing. In a last ditch effort, I decided to connect to the Pomona VPN, half hoping they don't shut down access for alumni, so that I could have an IP address that could tell the journals I was accessing articles through Honnold Mudd Library, and could thus retrieve articles for free. Well, what do you know--it worked. I can connect through the VPN and get all the articles I want without having to give up cash or my dignity to do so. Of course, this means that there is no reason why I can't do a good job on that presentation...which puts a little more pressure on me. Oh, well. I'm happy I can download copious amounts of scientific papers for free once more. 5 Comments. I'm reading your blog instead of paying attention in my economics class. Feel special. If you are not in graduate school, what classes are you taking now? » Dilated on 2007-04-23 05:29:12 uh, Ranor, how cruel is it to show us PART of Maury and not the part where the little bitch gets her ass handed to her by a bunch of butch prison hos? I'm going to have to search youtube now instead of doing my work, thanks a lot. :D If you ever find you can't get on the VPN, ask me I gotst all them crazy journals. » Zanzibar on 2007-04-23 07:05:32 Well that's pretty cool. :P » randomjunk on 2007-04-23 07:21:21 wow, I've been watching Keisha and Ravann because you know she had a secret crush on him cause he was the grocery market clerk, and she had this fantasy about the dairy aisle, and so Maury brought in Ravann and he had no idea who has a crush on him right and daaaamn you just have to watch it, cause unlike the other one you posted... this one has all three parts!!! » Zanzibar on 2007-04-23 07:25:14 Good luck with your presentations. » Nuttz on 2007-04-24 03:36:58
