To the folks who live at the intersection of #academia and #emacs, how do you read papers, keep annotated notes in the pdfs and maintain the corresponding bibliography in an org file?
Currently I do my reading, annotated notes and bibliography in zotero while writing separate notes in an org file. Ideally I'd like to do all of this within emacs.
Happy to hear suggestions!

This toot should go into the anthropic IPO briefing as the actualization of their business model. Everyone having to spent their own tokens on the (roughly) same (probably incomplete) fix is a wet dream for those who hate commons and collectivism.
