Suggestions for Improvement

After carefully reading this article, I think that the addition of a few more references would be beneficial. For example, a more in-depth description of her studies with botany (maize) could strengthen the academic section of the article. Gchitu (talk) 13:57, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
