Yay Elbakyan! In the beginning of Sci-Hub, it would always make me so happy, when her image would appear (the one in the article), signifying that I would be able to access the paper I was looking for. So glad she has gotten some award, as her work has helped so many people!!

I'm genuinely not sure I would have made it through my degree without the accessibility to research papers provided by Sci-Hub. I'm so glad Alexandra is getting the recognition she deserves for her incredibly important but thankless work!
