Option 1

 * Article title
 * Hélène Langevin-Joliot


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a start-class article that is missing a career section and more information about Helen beyond just her family and a basic description. The most in-depth section is about her family and not about her as a person which seems messy and makes her article ill-focused. I am the right person to fill this gap because I am also a woman in science who is very passionate about giving women more of a voice within STEM fields. I also have followed the Wikiproject: Women Scientists for quite some time and would love to contribute to it. I need to do more research on who she is as a person beyond her family and more research about what she has studied/done throughout her life. The biggest challenge for me would be to find independent sources beyond interviews with her about her life.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Endospore Staining


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a stub-class article missing more information of different endospore staining techniques and examples of bacteria that have endospores to stain. This article presents one method of staining as if it is the only one which is misleading. I am the right person to fill this gap because I have lab training in bacterial staining techniques and have used another type of endospore staining that I could outline in this article. To fill this gap, I would need to research other methods of endospore staining and more research on species/genus of bacteria that produce endospores. The biggest challenge for editing this article would be narrowing the section I edit since there is so much that could be added to this article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Lynn Kimsey


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a stub-class article missing a biography and scientific research/work of Lynn Kimsey. I am the right person to fill this gap because I am very interested in expanding knowledge on current women in STEM fields and Kinsey's work in entomology is fascinating to me. To fill this gap, I need to research more about her life and scientific achievements as well as her work at the Bohart Museum of Entomology. The biggest challenge will be finding full length articles about her life because she is still alive and working.
