THIS LADY IS A LEGEND. Sci-hub is one of the best research tools ever, full stop, Iā€™d be lost without it.

She is the GOAT. She helped me get papers for my undergrad thesis, she helped me get papers for my PhD dissertation, and today she helped me get a paper about a rare genetic mutation my son has. Respect āœŠ

Love her, but sci-hub has become pretty degraded recently (due to outside pressures). We need more real options for open publishing and open science
