The only women mentioned in the entire article were Woese’s wife, daughter, and administrative assistant+friend, Debbie Piper. Wife and daughter weren’t even named.pic.twitter.com/LyO2D5JH6A

Women scientists made discoveries described in article on Loikiarchaeota (first author Anja Spang & coauthors Katarzyna Zaremba-Niedzwiedzka and Christa Schleper) and horizontal gene transfer in rotifers (co-corresponding and last author Irina Arkhipova), yet they aren’t named.pic.twitter.com/8Dk54Hhu7v

Here’s how those discoveries are described. No names of scientists are provided. Such an easy opportunity to highlight at least a few women scientists in those two examples — but no mention of them.pic.twitter.com/CnvhYde2Ql
