Article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and well-referenced. Hook is supported by an inline reference at the end of the sentence. The image is free and appears in an uncropped version in the article. The nominator commented on but did not review Jeff Wrana so we need a proper QPQ if the nominator has run out of free credits. The hook is a little wordy. I would suggest shortening it by cutting her place of work. Also possibly changing endeavors to experiments.

Philafrenzy: Re-reviews have always been accepted as QPQs, especially since they almost always involve tricky issues that take more effort to resolve than many original reviews. This was not a single comment, is an ongoing review. Tightened hook below.
