@97198: New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook cited to RS. GTG. My only suggestions are to a) include the image and b) mention the year that this was accomplished (1927), though I won't require either. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 14:02, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that biologist Kono Yasui was only allowed to study outside of Japan if she listed "home economics research" alongside "scientific research" on her application and agreed not to marry?
ALT2 ... that at the end of World War II, biologist Kono Yasui focused her research on plants that had been affected by nuclear fallout after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
