💨 Abstract

Rosalind Lee, a geneticist, was the first author of a paper that the Nobel Committee cited for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to her husband Victor Ambros. Despite her significant contribution, she was not acknowledged by the Nobel Committee, a trend reflecting a gender bias in the awarding of Nobel Prizes in science, particularly in medicine.
