Original – Chien-Shiung Wu, whose nicknames include "the First Lady of Physics", "the Chinese Madame Curie", and the "Queen of Nuclear Research", worked on the Manhattan Project and designed the Wu experiment, for which... other people got the Nobel Prize. WTF?

Reason

A fine image of a notable female scientist in her natural environment, as it were.

• Comment – Nice restoration, I am leaning to support, but why not do something (anything) about the top and bottom edge tilts. I know it is a historic image and we cannot do "original research", but can't we do anything? clone from nearby areas, fill with flat gray shades to match nearby areas, crop it out, anything?! It is distracting for a FP. Bammesk (talk) 14:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
