About the speaker A full autobiography is available here: About the talk On the 5th September 2011 aged 23 Alexandra Elbakyan created a PHP script that downloaded articles for free to make them open access to all.
That script came to be known as Sci-Hub the first pirate website in the world to provide mass and public access to tens of millions of research papers more info here.
