Avery Ransome Grant
Is there any obituary or biographical info about "Avery Ransome Grant", aka Dr. Avery Grant Test who married zoologist Frederick H. Test? She was a researcher at the University of Michigan for a while. S. F. Light spoke highly of her in the early edition of his textbook from 1941. After that, I can't find anything about her. Obviously, she married and had children, but there's some indication she still did research. Viriditas (talk) 09:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Lindberg might be able to provide more information. His email address can be seen here. --Lambiam 13:13, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
