*ALT1 ... that biochemist Kathryn Ferguson Fink's cancer research was radiolabeling in conjunction with paper chromatography for the study of metabolic pathways, with clinical applications?- 192 characters. How about a hook that emphasizes her work rather than her being the first woman to do something? โ Maile (talk) 13:31, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Maile66: Not the first woman, the first anybody to do this. (Probably because the men all had appointments at the main campus, as her husband did.) But if you'd rather focus on the work, maybe a shorter version? Opabinia regalis (talk) 18:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

- ALT2: ... that biochemist Kathryn Ferguson Fink developed radiolabeling techniques that were used to study the success of chemotherapy?
- @Opabinia regalis: Striking my version of a hook, because I like yours much better. Other than that, my offering an ALT hook was because of a thread at WT:DYK mentioning an abundance of hooks that were about women being first in one thing or another. In the end, it's the promoter's choice. โ Maile (talk) 18:14, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Re-ticking this now that the nominator has offered ALT2. It's stated in the article and sourced. Unlinked PhD and MD per WP:MOS, as stated below by Edwardx. โ Maile (talk) 18:27, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
