Parasitic worms have been sucked into the gender bias row after a report claimed the naming of the creatures was sexist. A team of scientists, led by parasitologist Robert Poulin, scoured studies in eight journals published between 2000 and 2020. Around 2,900 species were discovered during that period - with 200 in 2007 alone. However, of the 596 species named after eminent scientists, only 111, or 19%, recognised women, according to the experts from New Zealand's University of Otago.

Last October, Boeing’s headquarters in Chicago was described as looking like a ghost town, with few people showing up to work at the company’s corporate offices. And that was largely after the city began reopening following the pandemic lockdowns. Many employees may still have been working from home out of caution over COVID, but others simply didn’t want to brave the streets of the Windy City for fear of being carjacked or otherwise harmed by the criminals who seemed to be running the streets. Now the “ghost town” reputation is apparently going to be amplified because the company announced that...
