@Yamakuzure The face the media’s put to the person responsible for capturing the black hole photo.
Unless that was sarcasm, in which case same answer but also “damn it, I used to be better at catching sarcasm”. -
@AmyShackles Ah! I haven't seen any articles like that. But now you mentioned it, I remember that one scientist in one article said that the photo wouldn't have been possible without her, or something like that. It wasn't really explained.
But then the articles I read were more technically inclined...
IMHO: all the hate on Katie bouman is absolutely stupid. if you want to blame someone, blame the media for portraying her as the sole person on the project. She never once took credit only for herself and always mentions that it's a team effort. And what the fuck is so wrong that the focus is on the woman engineer anyways? If this was a man, no one would give a shit that he "didn't give credit to his team"
