PZ: I tales extensively about Nettie Stevens in my own lecture on sex chromosomes, and I have two of the photos in your slide. However, where did you find the one in the upper left side of the slide? I haven’t seen that one before. Thanks! (Ken Miller)
Google turned it up. I’m not sure it’s actually a genuine photo — if it is, it’s a young Nettie from some time before she was a researcher.

Helsinki University and the “grammar” behind human gene expression- I hope this might be of interest down the road. https://phys.org/news/2022-02-uncovers-grammar-human-gene.html
And now back to the complex subject of sex determination. The problem is, the ones who need to learn this will reject facts as eevil librul “science”.

Googling for that image, it looks like that ‘young Nettie’ is actually Lise Meitner.
See it in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lise_Meitner
Darn. Meitner deserves attention too, but I’ll have to excise that photo from the slide set.
The number of women who did nit get full credit for their research is very long, including Einstein’s first wife.
Thanks. I learned quite a bit.
Is there any chance that you could paste a link to that graphic showing the various sex-determinant interactions?
