Interesting research, on good sources, Spanish and subscruption accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the ALT much better, naming livin creatures ;) - In the article: I don't understand "also" in the first sentence about growing up. For musicians, Work comes first, then Awards. Is this different for scientists? - I think mentioning her Romanian roots might make a hook more interesting. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Gerda Arendt: Thanks! Have changed that now, I think it was confusing, because Vaslui is a city, but it also seems to include several smaller villages, so I presume she grew up in one of those. Have also added Romanian to ALT1 per your suggestion, hope that's okay. Achaea (talk) 18:21, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

• ALT2:... that Romanian neuroscientist Viviana Gradinaru was part of the research team that found that serotonin is necessary for sleep in zebrafish and mice?

Thank you, and got the new one down here - or the conversation would make little sense ;) - Well, how about adding Californian to the team then, or say "from Romania"? Or readers might think the whole thing takes place in Romania. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:26, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Gerda Arendt: Sorry, should have done that, wasn't thinking! I think you're right about the adding California angle, how's this? Achaea (talk) 20:48, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

ALT3:... that Romanian neuroscientist Viviana Gradinaru was part of the research team from Caltech that found that serotonin is necessary for sleep in zebrafish and mice?
