Comment: Knowing how under-represented women are in Wikipedia let alone in science, I want to accept this, but need better referencing, I am seeing primary sources. I want to say "But she is a named professor", but I fee we need better referencing before this can proceed to acceptance. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:59, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
