    Science is teamwork, but the contribution of different team members is usually not all the same. There’s no way for us to know who did most of the important work. We have to put trust in the team that they chose their representative fairly.

      You replied to the person explaining this and ignored all of it - she was one out of 3 teams, each using different methods to arrive at the same conclusion. They simply made a photo of her when she got a result and was excited. They didn’t “choose a representative”. She said “everyone deserves the credit”. So why are you pushing this, instead of saying “all the teams deserve credit and this is a cool photo”?

        I do think the other teams deserve credit as well, just like her team does. I thought it was discussed whether it was right for her to represent her team.

        Also, the fact that there were 3 teams doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate the happiness of one of their leaders.
