[edit] Walter Nance
In addition to the fact that Nance is not on Crow's own list of past graduates (replicated above), his own website does not state he has worked with Crow. More seriously, I had never heard of Nance before, and whereas all the other listed are highly cited paper and textbook authors, Nance's achievements as per his website bio sound less stellar (his work on deafness could be described as "just one of those traits"). I feel his being notable would be a necessary prerequisite to his inclusion. At this point, shortening the list seems preferable to lengthening it. So if you wish to contest the inclusion of any given person, please go ahead; we can discuss it here. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 13:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Students and postdocs
Walter Nance has worked with Jim but may not have been either student or a postdoc. Neither was I: I was an undergraduate hanging out in Jim's lab 1961-1964 and he supervised my undergraduate honors thesis. The list at Jim's website is just wrong about that (I was Dick Lewontin's student and Alan Robertson's postdoc). Maybe say instead of "graduate students and postdocs" the phrase "undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs". Felsenst 03:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What he did
In addition to teaching at Dartmouth in the 1940s didn't he do a few other things of note? I seem to recall work on genetic loads, evolution of recombination, the neutral theory, and a lot of Drosophila experimentation ... ;-) Felsenst 03:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
