    It happens a lot to guys who are near women who shine and are memorable, Marie Curie’s husband, Pierre Curie, was more than just her husband he helped with the radioactivity research and they both died because of it. That said how many women have been erased in similar situations like that of Rosalind Franklin being Upstaged by Francis Crick. In short Academia needs to be better about recognition and change the incentive structure that makes for some forcing their names into papers they had nothing to do with besides proximity.

      The fuck do you mean “they both died because of it”? Are you suggesting the horse-drawn cart that crushed his skull in the street was involved in some conspiracy by Big Uranium? Or perhaps you are suggesting that the horse was suffering radioactivity-induced delirium?
