while she is certainly not famous , if one is in the right circles or has a particular interest in scientific communities , then one most certainly knows HER name. it is one often spoken with contempt , disgust ——— rarely , if ever , regarded in a respected light . is the hatred necessary ? well , that's not really the question to be asking . in the eyes of her peers , she more than earned that hatred regardless of the answer . unintentionally , of course, but still earned, nonetheless .
if names are meant to be forgotten then maybe one day hers will no longer be met with such hostility . truthfully, the idea of her name fading into obscurity doesn’t bother her —— fame was never her goal —— nor does the hatred really get under her skin ; she's become rather adept at handling the way in which others speak of her with sharp & precise cuts of her own words . but none of that matters, truly. even though her name has been dragged through the mud, reputation IRREPARABLY ruined, in the end, she is still able to continue, to pursue what she set out to do.
whether destined to be forgotten or not, there is work to be done in the present .
