Miriam Menkin Wikipedia Entry

As part of a project for my history of science class, I am planning to develop a Wikipedia entry for a scientist named Miriam Menkin. She was a laboratory technician who became the first person to successfully fertilize an egg outside of the human body. Her impact on fertility research makes her deserving of a Wikipedia entry. In the entry, I will discuss her life and background, her work with in vitro fertilization, and her overall contributions to science. I have yet to create the entry, but if anyone happens to stumble across this talk page and wants to give me some advice I would be happy to accept any help! I will be posting a list of the sources that I plan to use for the article shortly. David Potts (talk) 21:05, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

I have attached my initial list of sources for the Miriam Menkin Wikipedia entry. I will likely be altering and adding to this list as I put the article together, but any feedback or additional sources would certainly be appreciated! David Potts (talk) 19:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
