A note to any editor/journal friends on here: a #papermill scammer, Bharathi Kannan, is looking to get rid of a load of articles. Shame on these scammers, who engage in and profit from #scientificmisconduct

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Given that this obit was in Nature, it seems likely that the hate mail was from a scientist. These attitudes aren't as uncommon in the scientific community as we might want to think, and they usually come from a very particular demographic.
