I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Nice work! Please add a source for "She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2009 and taught history at Harvard University from 2009 to 2012." Please also explain the two names in the first sentence. Thanks and have a good day!

Thanks a lot for the kind words, esteemed Mariamnei. For a beginner this means a lot.

"She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2009 and taught history at Harvard University from 2009 to 2012.": The source (numbered 5), the website of the University College of Berkeley states as much. Being a reputed institution, I relied upon this. Hope that one citation at the end of the paragraph is sufficient.

The souce(numbered 7) , the website of the International Astronautical Federation writes her name as Tomoko Lisa Kate Kitagawa. Website of the Harper Collins Publishers also shows that she uses both forms of name shortening (Tomoka Kitagawa as well as Kate Kitagawa). Postbox 2 (talk) 09:25, 27 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
