I have boldly adjusted both the main hook and alt1 as I could not find evidence for the precise wording given in the citations. The article was just long enough but I have added a bit more. As written the article assumed that the reader knew the posh words for the study of seaweed etc. I have added some explanation. All three hooks are supported by facts. I could not find any similar phrases in other sources and it is NPOV. The image is by a gov employee but is not of great quality but OK for this use. Nice to see these notable scientists getting their own articles. Thanks for your effort Victuallers (talk) 14:28, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
- ALT1 is the most interesting of all the hooks. -PAPAJECKLOY (hearthrob! kiss me! <3) (talk) 01:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
