Whoever approved the title of this article deserves to be fired.

"Look! A Girl does Science!"-ass headline. 🙄

"San Diego Mother Wins Nobel Prize"

What would be absolutely hilarious is if Dr. Bohon approved the headline. 😆 It would seem appropriate for the Bee to run it by her, and other folks they write about.

Should maybe rewrite that headline in such a way that it doesn’t take away from Wendy’s extensive experience and the fact that she’s a PhD geologist… Look at this bio!

Address her by her accomplishments first and foremost. Rather than a tiktoker

It might help if you sit and write down the thought process that led to this ridiculous headline. What exactly were you hoping to convey to your readers and why?

Cough* sexism.

Folks. This isn't it. Fix the title. And fix the language in the article. It's Dr. Bohon.

Show pride for @drwendyrocks.bsky.social ! The headline sounds like you're jealous 🧐

Irresponsible of you to present Dr. Bohon this way.

This is a comically demeaning headline lol. Sexism 101 😂

Sit Graham down to explain that this denigrates a PhD scientist. We don’t minimize women by highlighting a “TikTok following” when their PhD and experience is right there. I mean, professional journalists don’t do that. Graham? Not so much. Share with your editors who let this out 😡

The headline is bad. But, the article is... also bad. She is not addressed as Dr. Bohon in the article, though reference is made to her "doctoral-level acumen." Have you seen this woman's resume? wendybohon.com/home/ How are you not embarrassed? Graham should go back to freelancing.

Sooo, her presence on TikTok and her acting experience are more important than her PhD in geology? Or her 25 years in the field? What a misogynistic piece of crap! @sacbee.com.

Shame on you Sacramento Bee...shame. Can't you cope with the fact she's a highly qualified person in her field who is leading in the work? Are you concentrating too much on the blonde hair, tits and tiktok?

WTF SacBee?!? Check your denigrating bias regarding accomplished women, please.

Dr. Bohon has a PhD. She isn’t some random influencer.

Jfc she has a PhD in Geology and a quarter of a century's professional experience in the field but sure, highlight the tiktok or whatever

Does your article refer to her PhD or use the title "Dr." a single time?

That headline is inexcusable and you know it.

She’s a professional geologist with a PhD and over two decades of experience. Stop with the clickbait title and give her proper recognition for here immense academic and professional accomplishments!

Please change the article title to accurately reflect Dr. Wendy Bohon’s extensive experience and scientific expertise. It is minimizing her success and downplaying her credentials. She is so much more than a “TikToker and former actress”. You could start by referring to her as Dr. in the headline

She also has a Bluesky account, are you going to list every social media account your subjects have? This headline feels like an attempt to discount her real world experience by insinuating that she’s just an “influencer”. Gross.
