Nothing is gained by trashing people who have accomplished much.

I believe the previous poster was trashing whoever wrote the article, not her. I agree that it vastly overrates her, for the reasons outlined in my post. But go ahead and run with the “rightful station” phrase and pretend it’s us denigrating her, instead of the other guy hyperbolizing to attract attention.

I was probably about 10 years old when I read a book about her life and work. It was one of several things that convinced me to become a scientist.
