This is generally true, but some original papers are beautiful and elegant, and give you amazing insight even with little domain knowledge. Some of my favorites in biology include Shinya Yamanakas original iPS paper (1), Sydney Brenners paper on C. elegans (2). I also like the original BLaST paper.

Anyone with the money and general scientific interest should consider subscribing to Nature or Science. It’s a fun browse every week and you never know what fields interesting finding might fancy you until you look at the articles.

Anyone with common sense will read Nature or Science from sci-hub :)

Couldn’t give a shit if someone pirates or pays the publisher, I like to have a book in my hand in the loo and browsing through a magazine is in some ways much better to take all of the science in fast that I’ve never managed to replicate in a computer. Except with google reader but let’s not open that wound now shall we?

Reading from a printed issue is quite a different experience from PDFs

Reading the news on both nature and science websites could be fun. And it's kind of more accurate than those reported by news agencies and often lack the hyperbole from those nonsense PR
