Thanks. It took me a little while to make all these cards, and I ended up learning the names of the 26 women who have won the Nobel Prize in science.

And they say women are smart. ...

Exactly - the number means little without additional facts.

I think my use of no was wrong. Not exactly what I meant.

No, you don't understand. They must be *good* at medicine, physics and chemistry to win. Has there ever even been one good woman at physics? Surely they're all afraid of radioactivity, they would never.

LOL

Really? Are you a white man? 😏

Marie Curie

Rachel Carson

translation.. women remain hopeless at doing science

Underrated comment!

Oui bien sûr. C'est clair ❤️

As much as I love the quiz, I'm real bummed you all can just run the exact same one again next year.

So...We covered Esther Lederberg in intro microbio lecture yesterday... The time I spend presenting science (and scientists) to younger people has convinced me that prizes that laud singular "geniuses" aren't representing good science or how science gets done. They're JUST for show and flattery.

I can’t even name many male Nobel prize winners outside of my field, which is Physics.

Trump says this is illegal and a threat to national security.

Do left handed people next

Nature played it's part!

It's a useful reminder that counting winners over time reveals patterns that a single year's results can't show.
