Prejudice against women scientists
By Daniel Zhu
There are many hardworking scientists who were unfairly denied the recognition they deserved; perhaps one of the more notable examples of this is the case of Rosalind Franklin. She made a revolutionary discovery about DNA, only to have the credit stripped from her. Her long journey to this earth-shaking discovery eventually amounted to nothing (at least, for a few decades). And even though there were rules, perhaps even laws against such acts, humans are ultimately bound only by the laws of nature.
Franklin was born into an affluent family and started her education at St. Paul’s Girls’ School. There, she excelled in her studies, especially science, and found her way to Cambridge, an honor that was not granted to most women at the time. She graduated from Cambridge in 1941 at the age of 21, but the arrival of World War II put a sudden halt to her blossoming scientific career.

When the craft beer and burger-focused Neighborhood eatery opened in East Village 14 years ago, it was the first foray into restaurant ownership for the now prolific Arsalun Tafazoli, whose hospitality group boasts such high-profile venues as Born & Raised, Craft & Commerce, and Raised by Wolves.
At the time, Neighborhood was considered fairly cutting edge with its more than two dozen craft beers on tap and not a Heineken in sight and an indoor-outdoor design that included artificial grass around the perimeter and faux moss and ivy on the walls. In recent years, though, the G Street venue no longer felt all that avant-garde as San Diego saw an explosion of craft beer-centric pubs. And so Neighborhood shuttered in March of 2019 a year before the pandemic in anticipation of a six-month-long transformation.
