OriginalBarbara McClintock, Nobel Prize winning cell biologist, in her laboratory. She basically discovered a good portion of what you'd learn in any moderately-advanced biology course's module on genetics and chromosomes - genetic recombination, telomeres, centromeres... you get the idea. Fundamentally changed the subject with her discoveries.
Reason
Highly notable person, nice shot of her in action, as it were. Restored this mainly at 400%. Added a little headroom; it's kinda just at the requirement, but the film grain indicates that not much, if any, detail is lost because of that.
