Option 1

 * Vera Danchakoff
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article gives a general overview of the early life and scientific career of Vera Danchakoff, a Russian cell biologist known as the "mother of stem cells" and first woman to be a professor in Russia. The Early Life section could be revised to include her personal life in general, with added information about her personal life during her career and her death. My main focus in editing this page would be adding to her personal life and adding some more interesting pictures to capture the reader and visualize the information being presented.

Option 2

 * Ruth Gates
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is lacking in information about Gates' personal life, so I would add some information. I would also correct some grammatical errors that I have noticed while reading. My research at Clemson under Dr. Michael Childress is closely related to Dr. Gates' research, and I have seen the Chasing Coral documentary multiple times, so I would bring in more information about this source in particular to give a better representation of how her work was featured.
