Outline for WGSST

Our changes for this article are to add more detail about Bath's childhood and influence. Her family and history is such an important part of her accomplishments and we think more details should be included that emphasis her full story. We would like to include more details about her mother and relationship with her as well as her introduction to science. The part of her life the influenced her to want to be in the sciences is very important for not only her, but the history of women and people of color. Also, we would like to add more information about her life now such as about her children and a more detailed list of the awards she has won. Our group has already found several websites that are more informative of her life and plan using those sites as sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blairebeavers25 (talk • contribs) 01:34, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Outline for WGSST

Other changes for this article include more detail about Bath's high school life, and what inspired her to do what she accomplished in her life. Adding more information on her mother could also give some insight on why she was inspired to do what she did. There is no information about her mom on here. We plan to add much more detail on all of Bath's accomplishments, like her "Merit Award", her scholarships while in high school, her internship at Harlem Hospital Center, and her life during her time at Howard University College of Medicine. I also plan on elaborating on her patents. Currently, there is detail about only one of Bath's patents, but she has had four during her lifetime so far. Bath's career could also use more detail and information about what else she did after she graduated from Howard University College of Medicine.
