Citation

[edit]

Is it OK to include the citation for her FRS? "Distinguished as a biochemist, and particularly for her work on the thyroid gland. She has made important contributions to knowledge of the biosynthesis of thyroxine and of the mode of action of antithyroid substances."

This is online at the Royal Society:

Another source worth checking is her Biog Memoir: http://rsbm.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/39/326.full.pdf+html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fnorman-london (talkcontribs) 16:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good spot! I'm no expert but I think the Biog Memoirs would be a better source but the archival doc might also count. --Miamelba (talk) 16:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
