I'm confused and maybe I am missing on something. The algorithm used to detect and find the black hole was written by a man and the girl only wrote 2% of the coding, 94% written by Andrew Chael and the rest by other 6 men.
I understand than Bouman is the spokesperson of the team, she gave a TED talk about how to find black holes and she is the one that deals the best with the media, but...
... what exactly did she do? I mean, I want to know why is SHE the face and name of the discovery.
