Francis Peyton Rous Wikipedia Article Starting Thoughts

Since the article as it currently stands is pretty bare, I cannot wait to see what a difference my contribution will make. First, I would like to delve into his legacy more, focusing on him as a person and a world renowned scientist rather than a few sentences on a Wikipedia page. To do this, I'm hoping to also explain the importance of his contributions, his selection for the Nobel Prize, his research interests, and I would also like to describe his prize-winning "chicken" experiment in greater detail.

Some sources I plan to use, but would like to gather further information on: 1. “A Notable Career in Finding Out: Peyton Rous 1879 - 1970.” Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, www.biblio.com/book/notable-career-finding-out-peyton-rous/d/637526033. 2. National Academy of Sciences - http://www.nasonline.org. “Francis Peyton Rous.” Biographical Memoirs, National Academy of Sciences, nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/. 3. Scheffler, Robin. “Achievements in Public Health, 1900-1999: Changes in the Public Health System.” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4850a1.htm. (Would like use this as a guide to what sources they cite, CDC is reliable and most likely uses credible sources for this project).

I plan to expand these sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iswwiki (talkcontribs) 17:08, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
