Are you aware of some that aren’t, other than the ones postponed during the initial communications freeze?

Well, I knit during the in-person meetings, too. Having something simple to do with my hands helps keep my brain focused. 🧶

Meaning, there are plenty of women making great contributions, but the Swedes made the right call on this one, IMO. I say this as someone who works close to this field and as a huge supporter of women getting the recognition they deserve.

Geez, Mark — way to pile on. 🙄

There are lots. 2 examples: Lynne Regan did some important early work, but moved into other areas. Tanja Kortemme (postdoc with Baker) works in protein design, though her work leans more to synbio. Baker’s contributions are most remarkable, tho, both for early leaps AND ongoing impact on the field.

He was my postdoc advisor. Amazing scientist, teacher and mentor.

Love that paper! Did you take that class with Jonathan King, by any chance?

I wish there was more credit to people who were the thin end of the wedge. The “First Black faculty in the University,” “First woman in the department,” “First blind person to get a doctorate in the institution,” and on and on. They made it easier for everyone to follow.
