Scientific American "The Lost Woman of Science"

     There is still gender discrimination all over the world, The world of scientists is no exception. According to this article, If women discover a something, men may take all credit for hers. I think this is a kind of gender discrimination. Maybe there are quite a few female scientists who was taken credit for. The idea that men are better than women is old. 

     Now I'm interested in one woman activity. She is Yukiko Yamashita. She won the MacArthur Fellowship Award which is called "Genius Award" in 2011 in the USA and now publishes research results on developmental biology in various well-known scientific journals including Nature magazine. Although she is a professor, she still conduct latest research in the laboratory.
