Maybe someone will edit it and get her birthday narrowed down. Even one year, instead of two, would be an improvement. An article written in 2018, with a heading saying she was 29, doesn't seem reliable.

I notice these unknown male Fields Medalists have much sparser entries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Christophe_Yoccoz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Christophe_Yoccoz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Smirnov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Smirnov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Scholze https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Scholze https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Lindenstrauss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Lindenstrauss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Huh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Huh ;)

    It's actually not that difficult in the case of someone like Peter Scholze. There's a good deal of scientific journalism available and some more accessible meta publications. But I guess public interest in crystalline cohomology isn't very distinct. Turns out a scientist's lack of visibility in the public eye via publications like Wikipedia is shaped by more than their gender.

      the previous commenter wasn't entirely being sarcastic. You are correct, a big part of the reason that certain topics are covered more than others is literally just interest by authors. There are many many more people interested in writing about video games etc than there are interested in writing about field's medalists. The best way to solve that problem is to either get writing yourself or encourage others to write.

Her wiki entry is far too verbose for the number of published articles, I've never seen another scientists page that references all the publications and authors they've published with. This section should be a few lines at best summarising her research work.
