Academic Science Rethinks All-Too-White 'Dude Walls' Of Honor
NPR - A few years ago, TV celebrity Rachel Maddow was at Rockefeller University to hand out a prize that's given each year to a prominent female scientist. As Maddow entered the auditorium, someone overheard her say, "What is up with the dude wall?"

"One hundred percent of them are men. It's probably 30 headshots of 30 men. So it's imposing," says Leslie Vosshall, a neurobiologist with the university and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Vosshall says Maddow's remark, and the word "dude wall," crystallized something that had been bothering her for years.

"It just sends the message, every day whe
