As a man with a science degree working in the IT field, I really loved _Lessons in Chemistry_ . Sadly, IT is still a predominantly male career. Though I've worked with some exceptional women, I'd love to see the pattern change. The book really made me wonder how much I have reinforced gender stereotypes or sexist behavior. It's a reminder to men to speak up, even among themselves, when someone uses gender-exclusive language, unduly disparages a female colleague, or makes crass remarks. I'm certainly guilty of having not spoken up before.
On a more positive note, I've learned a new way to make coffee!

Pencils are FORBIDDEN in labs .. you must always write in ink and only use a single strike through line to retract something. It's imperative that everything is recorded, for better or for worse. No erasing!!!

This is what stuck with you from the book? I think you missed the point.

Rosalind franklin was not forgotten. There is a Rosalind Franklin University in the Chicago area and I worked there before it carried that name. And after.

Indeed. She was a pioneer in x-ray crystallography, and the discovery of DNA would not have been possible without her. James Watson's book was exceptionally sexist, and has not withstood the test of time very well.
