Please: Don't refer to papers as 'a paper by X' where X is the best know co-author. The correct reference is '1st author et al'. It is disrespectful to the first author who did most of the work, and ignores how papers are a team effort. Remember: Prestige is the death of science.

Rather than prestige, I think it's a memory issue. Easier to remember that s/o I know was a co-author, rather than a (sadly) unknown first author.

It is a memory issue moderated by prestige ;) - it might take a bit of extra cognitive effort, and I would ask people to please put in that effort.

Agreed! Especially when white men are more likely to be remembered!

Yup! And/or just Western surnames.
