"A Few days ago at the international exhibition Geek Picnic 2017 in Moscow LEAF director Elena Milova had the opportunity to talk with the founder of Sci-Hub, Alexandra Elbakyan. The Sci-Hub website is devoted to providing scientists, students and researchers with free access to scientific publications which would otherwise be locked behind paywalls.
In this exclusive interview Alexandra talks about the history of the project and shares her vision on how to stimulate the transition to an open access system globally.
Before you will watch the interview we would like to remind you why progress in this direction is so important for science and in particular rejuvenation biotechnology."
