Overall, 11% of all principal investigators (PIs) with National Institutes of Health funding in 2020 held three or more grants. However, the numbers of these “super-PIs” vary by gender and race and ethnicity. White and Asian men were disproportionately more likely to belong to this elite group, and Black women were least likely.

This is a very nice article reporting on the discovery of a contemporary account of Mary Anning, the great 19th amateur paleontologist and pioneering woman geologist. Great read. lyellcollection.org/doi/10.114

@Sheril Fascinating article. I'm sure there are many more women who have been shunted aside and forgotten due to blatant misogyny.

Today's Google doodle features the Mária Telkes, who was one of the pioneers of solar energy research, and who was a Hungarian immigrant to the US!

Most English-language websites don't mention that she was from a Jewish family - which her father might have liked, as he was a noted Hungarian assimilationist, and started an organization advocating for Hungarizing Jewish names.
