Deeply unappreciated fact: the most "impactful" person in science right now is this Kazakhstani hacker queen. She is the one-woman bridge to the largest repository of scientific knowledge ever collected.
She has probably done way more for under-represented/under-funded/under-resourced communities who can't afford the gatekeeping of modern publishing than any well-meaning "broader impact" grant.
Posting because it always blows my mind that there are still folks out there unacquainted with her sorcery. #phdchat
I really didn't expect this to blow up. Her name is Alexandra Elbakyan, she runs sci-hub, which currently relies solely on Bitcoin donations to run: 12PCbUDS4ho7vgSccmixKTHmq9qL2mdSns
