Nah, lead scientist spent like 5 hours total helping the grad student on the paper's research. They probably spent more time getting the funding to begin with.
I love papers like this tho, one was my first citation, no-one else wanted to present it.
Twice I got my face plastered on the flyers of a conference because none of the other speakers looked Mexican enough. I still don't know if I should have been offended.
Stuff like this is pretty context dependent, and vibes based. Did it feel like this happened because people recognised that you belonged to a marginalised group, and were earnestly making an attempt to subvert systemic oppression you may face as a researcher by raising you up? Or did it feel like you were being instrumentalised, boiled down to a 2D representation of who you are in order to further the aims of that conference and/or research group?
Can confirm. My first poster was still the majority my analysis (and pre-existing data from the lab), but to get it accepted we needed the internal knowledge of how a proposal gets written and for that a graduate was needed.
Funny enough I got into grad school before I even presented the poster, so I was able to just do the rest of the work once I had a little bit of know how, plus a tiny stipend from my new dept!

There's a overworked scientist at the bottom somewhere

The underpaid lab assistant who quietly fixed all the others problems caused by the misuse of lab equipment.

Oh, shit. I left out hugely important context. This happened in Mexico so it's probably neither of those.
