Talk:Marie Catharine Neal

As conchologist
The literature also describes her as a conchologist and your text seems to indicate that but is somewhat backwards. For example you write that she was placed in the conchology department, then got interested in plants, but still studied conchology:
 * Initially placed in the conchology department, Neal's botanical interests led her to focus on Hawaiian flora. During her tenure at the Bishop Museum from 1920 to 1930, Neal made notable contributions to the study of Hawaiian plants. She collaborated on research projects, including cataloging terrestrial mollusks and coauthoring a monograph on land snails.

Shouldn't that be revised to read like this instead:
 * Initially placed in the conchology department, she collaborated on research projects, including cataloging terrestrial mollusks and coauthoring a monograph on land snails. Neal's botanical interests led her to focus on Hawaiian flora instead. During her tenure at the Bishop Museum from 1920 to 1930, Neal made notable contributions to the study of Hawaiian plants.

 * @Viriditas, yes, that's a great observation. I've implemented it in the article with a small tweak. Thanks. X (talk) 08:41, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
