Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

The article can relatively easily be fixed[edit]

A statement like "She is the only Indian scientist at CERN who was involved in the discovery of the Higgs boson particle in 2012." The publication <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2012.08.021> includes many Indian scientists.

"She describes herself as ..." is not a style to be used in biographical Wikipedia articles.

Too many of the references are to interviews with the subject.

Thanks in advance to Wikipedia colleagues for helping mending this page.

The scientist, while excelling in school and earning gold medals, encountered several difficulties after receiving her master's. When it comes to obtaining quick rewards, physics is not the best career option. Some of the students in her class who had taken computer science and electronics had already landed jobs before completing their master's degrees. After a span of two to three years, during which she faced rejection from leading universities where she aspired to pursue her doctoral studies, fortune smiled upon her when she received a remarkable opportunity to join a Ph.D. program ... ". I have posted on the editor responsible's Talk page about this, for the third time. Tacyarg (talk) 21:00, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And I take your point about interviews - I think six are cited. Tacyarg (talk) 21:02, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
