Yasmin Altwaijri

 * ... that epidemiologist Yasmin Altwaijri encourages other Saudi Arabian women to become scientists, arguing that this need not "cross the boundaries of our societal norms and customs"? Source: "Yasmin Altwaijri 'believes the fields of science and technology go well with the nature of Saudi customs and social norms for women... from a purely cultural point of view, my job does not cross the boundaries of our societal norms and customs. I think it is an ideal working environment for Saudi women'"
 * ALT1:... that epidemiologist Yasmin Altwaijri says socio-cultural taboos against women in sports and a lack of places where women can be physically active leads to more obesity in Saudi Arabian women than men? Source: "The percentage of obese women is higher than men. Women tend to lead sedentary lifestyles without adequate exercise. This is mainly due to socio-cultural factors such as the taboo of women sports, the lack of physical education curriculum in girls schools, the lack of fitness clubs for women compared with men and the fact that private sports clubs are too expensive for the average middle class family."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. Both hooks are sourced and interesting. Please fix the order of references, when two are given for a fact, - they should be in ascending order. I am not used to reading the title "Dr." in biographies. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not quite sure which references you're pointing to or what you mean by ascending order? However I've removed the use of "Dr." as per your comment. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 02:54, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * All fine now, doesn't matter if I looked wrong (I think I saw 3 1) or the order changed, - approved anyway. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:34, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
