... that Irish neuroscientist Sabina Brennan was a soap actress in the television series Fair City before she starting investigating dementia? Source: Irish Times
Eolaíocht, hello and thanks for submitting this nice article for DYK. Sabina Brennan is new enough, long enough, and passes Earwig. Please find a source for "Brennan is the youngest of five children. Her father worked for Irish Life and she followed him into this business after finishing school." As well, please remove the external links in the article. By the way, is " [Fair City]" meant to be two brackets? I don't believe QPQ is needed so once the issues are fixed, please ping me for a pass.

Hi HickoryOughtShirt?4, thank you for your kind message and for your helpful suggestions. I'm very excited that this page might be a DYK. I've fixed the reference and changed the external links. Sorry about missing the brackets, there are indeed supposed to be two of them! I've fixed that in the section above. Thanks again Eolaíocht (talk) 20:40, 7 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
