A donor requested that I list the “top ten most awesome female scientists.” I probably should have done this earlier in the night when I still had some mental faculties left, but here’s an attempt for female scientists that I happen to like, in no particular order:
- Rosalind Franklin
- Jane Goodall
- Linda Buck
- Barbara McClintock
- Elizabeth Blackburn
- Martha Cowles Chase
- Elizabeth Blackwell
- Grace Hopper
- Marie Curie
- Lynn Margulis (if we can get in a time machine and forget that she became an AIDS denialist, ugh)
…The fact that this list was incredibly hard for me to make is really, really sad.
