		+	This was confusing because I know too much history of science. The Darwin family's fortune came from the porcelain business--both Charles and his wife Emma were descendants of the famous Wedgewood family. Having porcelain mentioned in the Meitner panel but not the Darwin panel threw me off. [[User:Nitpicking\|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking\|talk]]) 12:57, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
