scientific-ish cooking creators

I've heard people like Christopher Kimball and Alton Brown described as "on the more science-y end of the enjoyment ⇔ science spectrum of cooking".

Some other folks that are like this:

• Good Eats w/ Alton Brown
• America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Illustrated, and Cook's Country
• Christopher Kimball / Milk Street (fired from Cook's Illustrated)
• J. Kenji López-Alt    ▶ 
  • Serious Eats
  • one of the people that he has drawn a lot of inspiration from is 📔Jacques Pépin. [youtube search results])
• Modernist Cuisine (and its authors Nathan Myhrvold, ▶Chris Young, and Maxime Bilet)

More "B-list" cooks, in terms of how well-known and revered they are by other top cooks. I think they're fabulous though.

• ▶Ethan Chlebowski
• ▶Adam Ragusea
• ▶Brian Lagerstrom

Why are there so few women on this list?
