Sources
After doing some research, I have found a few sources on Katharine Way not used in the preparation of this article. I believe these sources can offer additional information that expands upon what the article is already written about, so I would suggest anyone looking to edit the article starts with these sources.
Way, K., & Wigner, E. P. (1948). The Rate of Decay of Fission Products. Physical Review,73(11), 1318-1330. doi:10.1103/physrev.73.1318
Teaching Katharine Way at the University of North Carolina[Video file]. (2008). Web of Stories. Retrieved from https://www.webofstories.com/playAll/john.wheeler?sId=9414. Story first recorded in December 1996
A main thing I would look at is elaborating on exactly what her theory was (don't need to get into the physics of it, but just say its importance and what it did) as well as double checking the fact that Wheeler recruited Way. I believe she called him and got herself a spot in the Manhattan Project. Just some places to start at if looking to imporve/edit this article.Atb105 (talk) 15:18, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
