Four Rhetorical Questions.

Mary Claire-King is a mother-flippin' beast. Who else can say they've,

a) Revealed the near-identity of the human and chimp genome,

b) Identified the congenital basis for some breast and ovarian cancers (and worked on relevant therapies), and

c) Been involved in seminal work on dental genetics that helped solve actual crimes in the actual 'non-scientific' world, and

d) other stuff.

Amazing. Why is she not famous? Why do I know the name of Beckham's parfum ('HOMME') but nothing of King's recent work? Why is #KimKardashian trending worldwide, but there's barely a chirp from those pricks in Geneva sending sub-atomic particles through Western Europe at faster than the speed of light? Though not sure why, I feel we need more popular science and less Armenian socialite booty-queens.
