• ... that Daisy Yen Wu, believed to be the first female biochemical researcher in China, helped establish the new field of nutrition at Peking Union Medical College? Source: "As the first woman in China doing research on biochemistry and nutrition, Daisy Yen Wu （1902—1993）was the lifelong companion of Dr. Hsien Wu, the chief founder of the Biochemistry department of PUMC in Beijing. She was Dr. Wu's earliest collaborator during the initial period of the department, and together with her husband started his well-known research on 'protein denaturation' and opened up a new research field in the department".

What a life! Excellent sources for the GA, Chinese sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I'd almost prefer to drop the clause in brackets, but as you like it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:16, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

• @Gerda Arendt: thanks for the review. Do you mean deleting the clause believed to be the first female biochemical researcher in China? Yoninah (talk) 20:22, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

  Deleting is a strong word. I think the shorter might be more effective:

  ALT1: ... that Daisy Yen Wu helped establish the new field of nutrition at Peking Union Medical College?

  ... to avoid "first" and "new", and not fond of these "believed" anyway. I found also interesting that she founded a private school for her children, but that's a bit off focus.

  approving the shorter ALT also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

• @SusunW: are you okay with the alt? Yoninah (talk) 20:34, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Yoninah it works for me. Thanks to both you and Gerda Arendt SusunW (talk) 20:44, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks, Gerda. I'm striking the first alt. Yoninah (talk) 20:45, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
