Ref. [3]

edit

This ref doesn't appear to mention Laura Mclaughlin - admittedly my reading of the 13 pages was somewhat cursory ... but if I'm right, what's the point of the ref> Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 10:49, 28 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Tertiary qualifications

edit

Mclaughlin received a BA in 1917, followed by an "AM" some time later (year not specified), and a PhD in 1929. Should "AM" be MA? Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 10:53, 28 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Computer?

edit

The intro states that Mclaughlin "was a computer, instructor, and researcher of astronomy." What is meant (I think) is that she made astronomical computations ... maybe this is better than "computer", which has an entirely different connotation?
