something gives me the sneaking suspicion there's been some controversy over spelling at the #Wikipedia article on Beetlejuice


I just finished putting together a Wikipedia article on plant biologist Mary Clutter, who was so instrumental in determining mechanisms for gene regulation and expression through her work with plant hormones.

She also was one of the foremost scientists involved in expanding opportunities for women scientists in the latter half of the 20th century, including getting them the recognition they deserved for their accomplishments.

Today's featured article on the English #Wikipedia is about Margaret Abbott, the first American woman to win an Olympic event. Except when she died at the age of 76 in 1955, she had no idea that she had won an Olympic event, it would only be discovered by a professor at the University of Florida years later!
