Colorful Open Access: Sci-Hub, Free Libraries, and Their Alternatives
A guide to Sci-hub, Sci-net, Nexus, Wosonhj and SmartQuantAi, because paywalls are meant to be climbed.
About Me
I’m a PhD student researching how human-induced climate change impacts the health of communities around the world. This site is a space where I share some of my published work, personal projects, and other ideas that cross my mind, both from current and past collaborations.
I have a background in health data science, with experience in infectious diseases, maternal health, and data collection methods. My work has primarily focused on analyzing and validating data-driven methods for healthcare research, as well as exploring novel data sources for epidemiology
Currently at ISGLOBAL (Barcelona, Spain) with the ADAPTATION group, and with the IMTAvH (Lima, Perú) at InnovaLab.
