She's a woman's rights activist in Africa.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
She really shouldn't be on there and, originally, wasn't. She got added to the meme at some point, presumably to balance out the "white and male" thing, while ignoring the fact that those guys were all famous scientists and she is a politician and has never done any science.
Add a real female scientists.

Or Madame Curie, which would be fairer if you were going for "should be well known."

I think she's there because she's anti Islam, actually.
Like against female genital mutilation and shit like that.
Fuck I don't know.
I just googled the meme and put up the first image that came up. The point was gotten across.
Rosalind Franklin should be on there, if anyone.
Read Watson's The Double Helix, Watson and Crick treated that woman like a dog, by their own admission, yet it was her discovery that enabled them to make theirs.

That isn't really exceptional. There are at least half a dozen women who should have won Nobel prizes who had their work stolen by male scientists who took all the credit. I say "at least" because you just never know how many times it happened where the story never came to light. Lisa Meitner, Madame Chien-Shiung Wu, and Jocelyn Bell are easily on that list. And that restricts you to discoveries so exceptional a Nobel was involved, I shudder to think of the number thefts of original work that weren't Nobel prize winning.

@Vvoid- After Lumies invasion of the lizard people not panning out, I think its fairly obvious that nutty fuckers like that cannot be educated.
@Hodj- Is that article about geometric constructs being used to represent calculations in particle physics you linked a few pages back on the level? If so, mind blown. I honestly did not think we would get close to solving the role of Gravity among the four fundamental forces in my lifetime, but if this pans out as a serious mathematical advance, we might actually get there.

Seems to be pretty good. I mean its just a proposed concept and I don't know much about physics (haven't taken it yet) so I can't say for certain, but when I read it I just thought it was so goddamn interesting it was worth posting.

Lumie, what are your thoughts on this? Sure sounds like this guy is the superior game scientist to you.
