Per WP:GENBIAS, the representation in the section "§ Notable cell biologists" is male-majority; the only female cell biologist listed is Marta Miączyńska, who is also the only one to have a citation. As a Wikipedian who sought to balance the gender bias on Wikipedia, I would suggest replacing some of the less remarkable male cell biologists with female ones (I suggest going into Category:Cell biologists for all of the cell biologists available) and achieve an at least 50% representation from both genders.

This is a wholly laudable aim, and it would be wonderful to be in a world where history showed no gender bias in any discipline. However, the history of cell biology was dominated by men until the 20th century, and we have little choice but to document that encyclopedically. I suggest that we group the scientists by century, in the hope that the 20th and 21st century sections may show something closer to the representation you seek.

The Golgi apparatus was identified in 1898 by the Italian biologist and pathologist Camillo Golgi. The organelle was later named after him in the 1910s. 2001:18C0:766:8E00:0:0:0:CAE3 (talk) 18:41, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
