you wouldn't believe how many people cite that paper as "Wulf et al." when that's practically more characters than saying "Wulf and McKee"
I notice these things a bit more as she was my PhD thesis advisor
There are probably so many stories out there of interesting things she did. A few are breifly referenced at her old website here: https://web.archive.org/web/20060116130917/http://www.csl.co...
My dissertation was on the memory wall, and I never heard of her :/ RIP
