The laureates list for sciences at the 2021 Nobel Prizes doesn't include a single woman, widening the gap between male and female recipients of the prestigious awards.

History was made last year when the 2020 chemistry prize went to two women. It was the first time a science award had been given solely to a team of women since the inception of the prize in 1901. Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna claimed the chemistry award for their development of a genome editing method.
