I plan to add more about the accomplishments and career of Barbara Ross-Lee. The article describes her accomplishments to an extent, but I think it would be beneficial to add more about the procedures she invented, what all they entail, as well as more detail about her later career successes. The article's content is relevant to the topic, however there is still some information that could be added to gain more insight into the life of Barbara Ross-Lee. Each claim presented is referenced with a citation, and each of these citations is a reliable source.
