Nergis Mavalvala — English Wikipedia

English Wikipedia article on Nergis Mavalvala; used for entity facts only. It gives her birth in 1968 at Lahore and her upbringing in Karachi, her education at Wellesley and MIT (PhD 1997 under Rainer Weiss), her LIGO work, the 2010 MacArthur Fellowship and her deanship of MIT's School of Science. On religion it says only that she was 'Born to a Parsi family that practiced Zoroastrianism' — a family framing, not a personal attestation.
