I'm on a public internet connection, but I'm not too worried because to perform such an attack, you would have to compromise some physical network infrastructure between me and sciencemag.org, and do it in a such a way to not get yourself in trouble with the law.

It's possible sure, but it seems difficult enough to not worry about.

It's easy for an attacker on your WiFi network, in some cases.

Your WiFi network might be encrypted, which might be a broken encryption, or might be unencrypted to discourage excessive use.

You don't even have to go that far, it's usually done between you and the router.
