Article: Copper-64

Evaluation

Content:

The content in th article seemed relevant to the topic discussed. I think that the section on Wilson's disease can be expanded because it touches on the symptoms of the illness, the consequences, but when it comes to the role of copper 64, it doesn't explain how it is achieved and I would like to see that in order to understand.

I would also like the page to explain why, if CT is toxic as they claim in Assessment of renal perfusion with Cu-ETS2, it is used in the detection of cancer as it claims in Cancer detection with bombesin analogs, maybe this information can be updated.

Tone:

I think the tone is neutral but the weight of the role of copper-64 in different sections is not balanced. As I mentioned before, Wilson's disease is not very developed (only 2 lines of information) while other sections like cancer-related therapies and diagnosis include even copper-62 information.

Sources:

the links that I checked were all working and from reliable sources like ACS journal. The articles cited were mostly from 20 years ago so information might need to be updated but, in my eyes, there were no indications of biases or plagiarism.

Talk page:

The article is a part of WikiProject Elements but the last time anyone commented was on 2007. The author of the last comment said that part of the claims were not justified in the article but does not mention if s/he made a change.

Donna Theo Strickland, CC (born 27 May 1959) is a Canadian optical physicist and pioneer in the field of pulsed lasers. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, together with Gérard Mourou, for the invention of chirped pulse amplification. She is a professor at the University of Waterloo.

She served as fellow, vice president, and president of The Optical Society, and is currently chair of their Presidential Advisory Committee. In 2018, she was listed as one of BBC's 100 Women.

Early life and education
Strickland was born on 27 May 1959, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada to Edith J. (née Ranney), an English teacher, and Lloyd Strickland, an electrical engineer. After graduating from Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute, she decided to attend McMaster University because its engineering physics program included lasers and electro-optics, areas of particular interest. At McMaster, she was one of three women in a class of twenty-five. Strickland graduated with a B.Eng. degree in engineering physics in 1981.

Strickland studied for her graduate degree in The Institute of Optics, receiving a Ph.D. degree from the University of Rochester in 1989. She conducted her doctoral research at the associated Laboratory for Laser Energetics, supervised by Gérard Mourou. Strickland and Mourou worked to develop an experimental setup that could raise the peak power of laser pulses, to overcome a limitation, that when the maximal intensity of laser pulses reached gigawatts per square centimetre, self-focusing of the pulses severely damaged the amplifying part of the laser. Their 1985 technique of chirped pulse amplification stretched out each laser pulse both spectrally and in time before amplifying it, then compressed each pulse back to its original duration, generating ultrashort optical pulses of terawatt to petawatt intensity. Using chirped pulse amplification allowed smaller high-power laser systems to be built on a typical laboratory optical table, as "table-top terawatt lasers". The work received the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Career
Strickland's ultrafast laser group at University of Waterloo, in June 2017

From 1988 to 1991, Strickland was a research associate at the National Research Council of Canada, where she worked with Paul Corkum in the Ultrafast Phenomena Section, which had the distinction at that time of having produced the most powerful short-pulse laser in the world. She worked in the laser division of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 1991 to 1992 and joined the technical staff of Princeton University's Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Opto-electronic Materials in 1992. She joined the University of Waterloo in 1997 as an assistant professor. She became the first full-time female professor in physics at the University of Waterloo. Strickland is currently a professor, leading an ultrafast laser group that develops high-intensity laser systems for nonlinear optics investigations. She has described herself as a "laser jock":"I think it's because we thought we were good with our hands. As an experimentalist, you need to understand the physics, but you also need to be able to actually make something work, and the lasers were very finicky in those days."Strickland's recent work has focused on pushing the boundaries of ultrafast optical science to new wavelength ranges such as the mid-infrared and the ultraviolet, using techniques such as two-colour or multi-frequency methods, as well as Raman generation. She is also working on the role of high-power lasers in the microcrystalline lens of the human eye, during the process of micromachining of the eye lens to cure presbyopia.

Strickland became a fellow of The Optical Society in 2008. She served as its vice president and president in 2011 and 2013 respectively, and was a topical editor of its journal Optics Letters from 2004 to 2010. She is currently the chair of The Optical Society's Presidential Advisory Committee. She is a member of and previously served as a board member and Director of Academic Affairs for the Canadian Association of Physicists.

Strickland had not applied to be a full professor prior to her Nobel prize, but in October 2018, she told the BBC that she had subsequently applied and was promoted to full professorship at the University of Waterloo.

Nobel Prize[edit]
On 2 October 2018, Strickland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on chirped pulse amplification with her doctoral adviser Gérard Mourou. Arthur Ashkin received the other half of the Prize for unrelated work on optical tweezers. She became the third woman ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, after Marie Curie in 1903 and Maria Goeppert Mayer in 1963.

Strickland and Mourou published their pioneering work "Compression of amplified chirped optical pulses" in 1985, while Strickland was still a doctoral student under Mourou. Their invention of chirped pulse amplification for lasers at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics in Rochester led to the development of the field of high-intensity ultrashort pulses of light beams. Because the ultrabrief and ultrasharp light beams are capable of making extremely precise cuts, the technique is used in laser micromachining, laser surgery, medicine, fundamental science studies, and other applications. It has enabled doctors to perform millions of corrective laser eye surgeries. She said that after developing the technique they knew it would be a significant discovery.

When she received the Nobel Prize, many commentators were surprised that she had not reached the rank of full professor. In response, Strickland said that she had "never applied" for a professorship; "it doesn't carry necessarily a pay raise… I never filled out the paper work… I do what I want to do and that wasn't worth doing."

Order of Canada
Strickland was appointed as a Companion of the Order of Canada in 2019, one of Canada's highest civilian honours.

 Science 

omg this woman is absolutely amazing I want to be her. anyway. what she did was pack the same energy that the common laser had before into a much much MUCH shorter time. the 1 mJ of energy per second that was so revolutionary, she was able to pack into 1 picosecond, therefore achieving the concentration of photons to increase and when meeting a single atom, instead of releasing said amount of electrons with the same low energy, they were able to release a single electron ith said fold of energy. that's the science that she did.

Personal life
Strickland is married to Douglas Dykaar, also a physicist. They have two children. Strickland's daughter Hannah is a graduate student in astrophysics at the University of Toronto. Strickland's son Adam is studying comedy at Humber College. Strickland is an active member of The United Church of Canada.

Keivan Guadalupe Stassun, (born July 1972) is an American Physicist and Astronomer in the field of exoplanets. He is a professor at the Vanderbilt University.

Stassun has been an activist promoting the integration of underrepresented groups in the fields of STEM, especially math and physics.

Early life and education
Stassun was born to a Mexican mother and an Iranian father who left when he was an infant. He lived in Venice, CA until age seven, when his mother and stepfather married and moved to the San Fernando Valley where he grew up.

He was identified as "high IQ" and was recommended for a gifted magnet program: Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies, where he went for both middle and high school. During his high school years he participated in a number of activities: newspaper editor-in-chief, yearbook photographer, chorus, drama, speech and debate, varsity volleyball, all while graduating second in his class.

He attended University of California, Berkeley under a full scholarship. He thought he wanted to be an astronaut so he went through Navy training for a year before giving it up for good. He studied Astronomy at Berkeley under the tutelage of Gibor Basri.

While at Berkeley, he organized a club for undergraduate astronomy majors, set up and taught a lab for undergraduate majors, and continued his trajectory in theater. He was selected to deliver the Astronomy/Physics valedictory at his 1994 graduation.

After Berkley, he moved on to the University of Wisconsin to do his graduate under the guidance of Bob Mathieu. It was at Wisconsin that his ideas about the importance of combining scholarly practices in research, teaching, and outreach began to crystallize. In addition to carrying out his thesis research, he also became active in math/science education for minorities in the local schools, and he developed an astronomy outreach program (Scopes for Schools) which provides teachers with resources and training for teaching astronomy.
