Female Scientist rewarded!

The link is simply a news article noting Elizabeth Blackburn's acheivements. Blackburn is the scientist who discovered the protien telomerase which determines the lifespan of cells. She was honored with the Lasker award which is the highest regognition in American science. Graduating as the only female in her graduate class, Blackburn strives to interest more women into her field. At her lab in California, the woman/man ratio is 50/50 which is highly uncommon in the field of science though she notes its merely "the biological ratio". Blackburn is a suspected candidate for the Nobel Prize to be awarded October 2, 2006.
It's nice to hear of a woman succeeding in the role of a scientist as it is a male dominated field. I think it inspires other women in this field and seems personal being one of the few females in A&M's engineering college.
