Original – Barbara 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.
