She was Dr. Wu's earliest collaborator during the initial period of the department, and together with her husband started his well-known research on 'protein denaturation' and opened up a new research field in the department".

What a life! Excellent sources for the GA, Chinese sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I'd almost prefer to drop the clause in brackets, but as you like it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:16, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

? Yoninah (talk) 20:22, 8 November 2020 (UTC)- Deleting is a strong word. I think the shorter might be more effective:
- ALT1: ... that Daisy Yen Wu helped establish the new field of nutrition at Peking Union Medical College?
- ... to avoid "first" and "new", and not fond of these "believed" anyway. I found also interesting that she founded a private school for her children, but that's a bit off focus.
approving the shorter ALT also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
