Her dissertation is here: 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.

Thanks 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.
