Nature journals - access problems Feb. 2

The Nature journals web platform is experiencing problems today. The publisher has this notice on their site: "Feb 2 -- Site license access is experiencing intermittent issues with account authentication. We estimate a fix will be in place by
1600 EST. "

Basically this means when you try to access any Nature journal, it is not recognizing our IP ranges (or anyone else's for that matter) and will either give you an error message or prompt you to purchase the article.

Nature hopes to have this problem corrected by 1:00pm Pacific time.
