In summary, the conversation revolved around finding out the identity of a female physicist, with the person asking for help and another person questioning the honesty of the request. It was clarified that it was not a homework assignment, but the discussion concluded without the identity being revealed. However, the original person later discovered that the physicist in question was Deborah Jin and shared this information.

I did find out who it was though- Deborah Jin. In case you all were wondering... :)

She and some other scientists just found the sixth form of matter.
