Yes I agree. There are countless number of people who get their PhDs and also are good athletes... I don't see why her story is remarkable. There was nothing about what her thesis was about or what kind of book she was writing...It's not clear what her contribution to science or literature was actually.
The article did not have much content beyond success related words such as PhD, writing and marathon. Someone might as well write an article about their 200k salary.
- erikpukinskis 10y ago> It's not clear what her contribution to science or literature was actually. Her dissertation is here: https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/709838 https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/70983... Title is "A Novel Role for Fyn in ApoER2 Regulation" I can't help but wonder whether you have questioned her contribution to science if she was a man and wrote the same article. I'll let you say whether you think you would though, as I could only speculate.
- j7ake 10y agoThanks for the link. I didn't pick up from the article that she was a neuroscientist. When I read the article I wasn't even sure if she was in biology or physics or math or sociology. I don't know why her gender would affect whether or not I think the person should have written about their contribution to science and literature rather than just associating herself with words related to success.
