Women!

It's women's history month, and international women's day. So it's perhaps interesting to note that Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca --the three powerhouses creating COVID-19 vaccines--all have women at the helm of their vaccine teams. (Thanks to my dad, Colin Jones, for noticing this!)

Let's raise a glass to Kathrin Jansen, Hamilton Bennett, and Sarah Gilbert. 

Gilbert, by the way, has triplets. 

Of course in 2021 we should not be any more surprised to find 3 women at the helm than 3 men... and yet... it does still seem notable, especially when one contrasts this with the frequently-reported disproportionate hit that the pandemic has made to many women's careers. (I have been lucky, with my husband taking the burden of our childcare and home schooling while I continue to work.) The contrast is interesting.
