I have had "researcher" jobs that were not 'doing science'. I needed either journal access, or scihub/libgen, putting together shit my boss wanted to know.

Quality insight, I don't doubt it, I just know when most people said they were 'doing their own research' they weren't looking at a biology book to find out what RNA was vs. DNA, or mRNA vs RNA, or how protein vaccines vs. mRNA vaccines worked. It's just infuriating to me.

yeah most people never learn basic research or critical thinking skills, much less the advanced stuff. they don't even understand that there's a space between labcoats and blind obedience/MAGA hats.
