Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry — the first all-female team to win a Nobel.Nobel laureates Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier first met at a 2011 conference in Puerto Rico, where both gave talks about a then little-known biological system called CRISPR–Cas9, which bacteria use as an immune defence. They immediately hit it off. “She was coming to CRISPR from a very different perspective than I was,” Doudna says. “And I liked her.
In 2020, Doudna and Charpentier became the first all-female team to win a Nobel prize, and only the second winning team to include more than one woman. Aside from winning science’s top medal, Doudna calls the collaboration with Charpentier “one of the great joys of my life”. Their complementary scientific expertise and commitment to the collaboration made the work enjoyable. “I loved her intensity and quiet sense of humour,” Doudna adds.
These oversights appear throughout science and engineering: crash test dummies are mainly designed with male-typical anatomy, and male and female marine organisms might respond differently to climate change, but these differences haven’t been thoroughly investigated.Credit: Max Lautenschläger
Yes! But things are getting better, I assume.
