Sci-Hub was founded by Alexandra Elbakyan in response to the high cost of research papers behind paywalls. As of July 2020, Sci-Hub self-reported that the cumulative number of downloads exceeded one billion, and the average number of downloads per day is 300-600 thousand.

Alexandra is globally respected amongst coders, Phds, Professors, students, activists, and educators. She has been described as a "Science's Pirate Queen". Nature has listed her in the 'Top ten people that mattered in science'.

Buckle up to interact and ask her questions on building the 'Website of the century', to what she is up to now, and a wide range of interests from Brain-Machine Interfaces, Consciousness, and AI.
