The Biology Nerds

Newsweek has declared some of the top scientist's that would rank as the top 10 nerds in biology. All are men, though. But there are women scientists too who we should have seen in the list of who is who in biology. Most of these people are drawn of course from genomics. Well look at the list:
-Eric Lander
-Leroy Hood
-Craig Venter
-David Botstein
-Svante Paabo
-Philip Sharp
-Rudolph Jaenisch
-Kari Stefansson
-George Church
-Jay Keasling
Sure these people have done good work and deserve to be in the list of top biologists but they have been around for sometime. We need new faces emerging as influential in biology. Do you agree with the list?
