The Matilda Effect: what an infuriating but all too familiar narrative of credit for discoveries owed to women in science being *stolen* by male colleagues who then go on to reap the recognition/profits from it and behave so appallingly.
Not exactly shocking that a female scientist was not acknowledged for a key role in a breakthrough discovery (Google Matilda effect) but I hugely admire how she constantly fought back to get the recognition she deserved

“When I look at this picture I think about the five white human men who didn’t get into Starfleet Academy. What if one of them was a James Kirk, a James Leyton, an Arnold Kodos? That’s the kind of question the Civil Rights Division should be asking,” remarked Assistant A.G. Dhillon.
