Apparently the usual suspects (MRA, Gamergate numbnuts, incels, etc.) are outraged that a young woman is the public face of this project. She's the project leader, but repeatedly made sure to credit the entire team. These people don't care (or more likely are simply ignorant) that this is the most common way that widely publicized science stories are handled--the lead scientist is pretty much always the one that's called on in a public-facing role. No, as far as they're concerned it's "The SJWs are pushing their rotten agenda on us again!!!1! What about the men that did all the work?!"
"Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration — courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and above all, love of the truth."
— H. L. Mencken
