Alexandra Elbakyan is a titan and a saint. I couldn't have been able to finish my research without access to papers my institution wasn't subscribed to.

Pretty sure journals wouldn't allow it, but who's going to read my dissertation anyway (:

Isn't it fantastic that we are alive and seeing the resurrection of the great library of Alexandria right before our eyes?

She has done more than any other organization or individual in the history of mankind when helping people in second and third world country pursue advance research since the advent of internet. Well she and the people who pirate and distribute MS Office. Faculties around the world recommend scihub as the main and only source of research and journals.

Hahaha, I actually typo-ed Alexandra and trust me I googled that immediately. Apparently it is "Alexandria"
