This article discusses the use of eponyms in science, particularly in the field of medicine. Eponyms are names of people or places that are used to refer to specific things, such as diseases or anatomical structures. While eponyms have been used to recognize the contributions of individuals and provide a form of immortality, there are several issues associated with their use. Eponyms lack descriptive power and can lead to confusion and inconsistencies. They also often reflect disparities in opportunities for women and minorities, as the majority of eponyms are named after white men. Additionally, eponyms can make individuals famous who may have ethical issues inconsistent with an honorary eponym. The use of eponyms can also affect objectivity and hinder scientific progress. While the use of eponyms is deeply ingrained in scientific literature, the article encourages minimizing their use and instead using scientific nomenclature or acronyms that accurately convey the concept.
