I chose Clarice di Durisio. Currently, there are only 3 sentences for this article. I would like to find as much information as possible. Ideally, I would like to find a birth and death date, more information on her schooling (how long, specialty, etc), information about her family, her practice, places she lived. I will add anything that I can find (from reliable sources, of course) to give readers more information about her life.

I do not believe there is enough information on Durisio. I chose Margaret Dick as an alternative. I can use the following websites to add some information. Additionally, I would like to make some changes to the look of her Wikipedia page, such as different sections/headings.

Under the Early Life Heading, I would like to make the following changes: Change to Personal Life

Include parents' names, Margaret and James Dick. She was the youngest child. (Nessy Allen)Her mother was a housewife and tailor. Her maternal grandfather was an accountant and her uncle was a professor of physiology at the Glasgow? Her paternal grandfather was an engineer as well as her father, all of her father's brothers, and her brother. Both of her sisters became teachers. The family moved from South Africa to Australia around 1914. They decided to make the move because her father was at risk for miner's phthisis and the threat of war was eminent. She did not marry.

Create new Heading: Education

Move information about early education here. BSc in dietetics, microbiology, and biochemistry (Allen) Move information about Master's degree here. Add that Master's was earned from her research on riboflavin and folic acid.

Under Career Heading:

I would also like to fix the plagiarism that is currently present (lack of quotation marks on direct quotes).

Just after graduating with a Bachelor of Science, she set out to find work; however, prospects were slim. She moved to Adelaide were she procured a job in a small laboratory under a small group of physicians. She did not feel challenged in this position, so she returned to Melbourne. Fortunately, a position became available at Kraft Walker Cheese Company and she accepted.

Began working for Kraft in 1942 and continued to work for them for 40 years. Began as senior microbiologist assistant (allen) By 1949, she earned the position of senior microbiologist. (allen)

She outlined and employed the procedures regarding the microbiology side of food product monitoring and equipment/employee surveillance that eventually became HACCP standards (Hazard Analysis by Critical Control Points). She helped engineer a more effective methodology to test for penicillin in cow’s milk. Her work tested the occurrence of Staph in cheese and other dairy products. She eventually became an internationally recognized expert by working with people in nearby Tanzania. to set up microbiology lab for testing food. (allen)

She was the only person to serve on the microbiological subcommittee of NH&MRC food standards committee for the entire 25 year duration that it existed (allen) Add Biological Advisory Committee of the National Association of Testing Authorities.

New Heading: Recognitions/Awards

1970 - Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology Award of Merit

1977- Fellow of ATSE

2001 - Centenary Medal

Add List of Publications

1955 - Microbiological Assays

1982 - Fermentation of Food, Academy of Science

Create new Heading: Death

** Peer Review Comments by Megan Zinn**

-I am not sure if you need a whole heading for her death. Maybe find a way to include it in an existing heading? Since it is only a couple of sentences. You could include it in the summary thing at the very top of the page?**Move to Personal Life Heading**

-In the section about her family and their occupations, I would put "her uncle's" instead of "her father's brothers", it was find of confusing for a second, and wordy.

-In the Recognitions/Awards Section, I would put in parenthesis what "ATSE" stands for. Also if it says who presented/awarded her with the Centenary Medal.

-Looks great! I like how you included an awards/recognition section and that you added more on her family history, since it was really lacking in the existing article! :)
