I am excited to be part of the Wikipedia Fellows program which is designed to train subject-area experts how to contribute to Wikipedia. Wiki Education facilitates this program. Learn more at
http://fellows.wikiedu.org. All of my contributions are my own and I take responsibility for them.
Improving pages for Women in Science
The goal of reducing
gender bias in the representation of women scientists and their accomplishments.
Improving Susan Lindquist's page
Split "Research" and "Career" into separate sections.
Research contributions
Heat shock proteins HSP. Prions. Chaperones as "evolutionary capacitors".
Non-mendelian inheritance. (Lamarckian). Prions catalyze conformational change of other prions.
Helped answer long-standing puzzle about changes in how environmental stress leads to changes in phenotype.
Career
Lindquist was an entrepreneur. Co-founded FoldX with Jeff Kelly. FoldX commercialized Tamifidis, now sold by Pfizer. Co-founded Yumanity with Tony Coles.
Contextualize awards if it is documented. "Won X for contributions to Y."

Journal Articles
Lindquist's work with yeast prions has provided significant evidence that supports a role for proteins in evolution (evolution is not exclusively DNA).[12]
Sandbox
and went on to show that which had been known to aggregate in several neurodegenerative diseases, used by cells to burst of novel phenotypes. This provided crucial evidence that proteins heritable traits.
