And yeah, I noticed that no scientists at all made the lists either of most admired women or men. I find that striking too for sure too.

Can you actually name a single living scientist (male or female) though? I can't. Every single scientist that I know the name of is dead now.

Yeah it's easy to name scientists who are mostly known for science communication (Neil deGrasse Tyson as an example) but science is so compartmentalized and specific these days that even those in the field are likely to only know the people in their own particular subfield of science. People like Frances Arnold and David Baker come to mind as scientists who are really killin it in my field, but they aren't going to be known by the general public other than as maybe a TED talk speaker.
