As someone who knows Alexandra personally and follows her work for a very long time, I must warn you that, despite creating an awesome tool, in my opinion (and the opinion of a lot of scientists who were in communication with her) she is not a sensible person at all. She is a lot into pseudoscience (e.g. astrology) and very radical political views (she's a Stalinist), and she's got a strange mix of mysogyny and radical feminism going on. She is very open about it on public Scihub channels. At least this was the situation a year or so ago.
