It amazes me how much of science is powered by a single Kazakhstani woman who does crimes

I’m thinking of things that actually power math academia, and I realize I can’t even name who made them: - arXiv - laTeX - SAGE (okay I know William Stein) - scihub.. We’re very bad at attributing value to the people who actually make the world go round as opposed to “shiny” ppl
