Alf Eaton: Linking to Papers

"Slashdot reports on a PNAS paper about bird flocking behaviour, but only links to a news blog post on Environmental Graffiti, which itself only links to a report in The Telegraph, which doesn't link to anything. You have to actually go to PNAS.org, search for 'starlings' and sort the results by 'newest first' before you find the actual paper (which is, happily, open access after all)."
