Who is the top female cruncher in Distributed Computing?

[jasong]

Obviously, opinions may vary, but I'd like to know who the top female crunchers are, how much power they have, and how they got that power(sys. admin., own them all, etc.)

In Find-a-Drug we had a female cruncher who's power mostly came from other people crunching for her. I wouldn't accuse her of putting out, but I think some definite flirting was involved.(Not that I'm saying top female crunchers get that way from flirting, I'm not suggesting that at all)

Wow! You must've found some really *crazy* drugs!

Seems like they find something usefull in the "Find-a-Drug" project - can I get a prescription?

After a quick look on surroundings, I conclude that women in DC projects are rare.

To attract more females, I suggest some projects like Find-a-handbag/perfume instead of Find-a-drug/alien/prime.

Perhaps that kind of attitude goes a long way toward explaining why women are rare in these kinds of projects.

Find a perfume is an interesting project. You could figure out the structure of the good nasal receptors and design a molecule that binds to them with great affinity.

That was a bit sexist, in my opinion...

Seconded. I know a few women who participate in such projects, but they never show themselves because they invariably get dog-piled.

Well there were some in GIMPS. Dunno if they´re still around.
