Talk:Akira Endo (biochemist)

This is probably not a citable URL for the Landers article. JFW | T@lk  13:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Should probably use that source to mention the fruit juice discovery and how he got to the USA. Some more academic sources can be gleaned from the Japan Prize site. JFW | T@lk  13:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Animal behaviour
inserted a book reference:
 * Animal societies : individuals, interactions and organisation / edited by Peter J. Jarman, Andrew Rossiter ; with the assistance of Yasuo Ezaki, Tomoji Endo and Akira Endo (1994)

Endo is a fungal biochemist, not an ethologist. I suspect this book was co-edited by a scientist with the same name. JFW | T@lk  19:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Reference to Scientists greater than einstein
Earlier this year, User:April.eye created an account and immediately started spamming WP with articles about, links to, and mentions of Scientists greater than einstein and Scienceheroes.com. All articles and files created by this SPA have since been deleted by a number of admins (see, , and ), so now I'm going through and deleting all the book references added by this editor.

The book's claims may or may not be legit; the article on the book (prior to its deletion) mentioned how the numbers were calculated in a vague fashion, but was clear that they definitely did not go through any type of peer review process. As such, and given the non-notability of the book itself as well as the nature of the edits, I figured it was better to just delete the reference. If you find a similar number from a different book (one that's more reliable), add away! Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 08:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I believe there has been some miscommunication regarding my book and website. http://ScienceHeroes.com
 * Book Author's Reply

There are four living scientists in my book. I interviewed all four of the scientists, and each scientist reviewed and corrected their own chapters. We used statistician, Amy R. Pearce, PhD from Arkansas State University (apearce@astate.edu) to calculate the numbers. Her methods for calculating the numbers can be found on each individual scientist’s page on our website. A brief explanation can also be found in the book or on our website at this link: http://scienceheroes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44&Itemid=57

Listed below are links to my book sources (272 sources were used for the book), online PDF’s of chapter 3 (William Foege) and chapter 5 (Norman Borlaug), and the links to reviews of the book.

I will also send any Wikipedia admin a free copy of the book if they wish. I have successful businesses outside of the web and I assure you that I never intended to make money on this book. A groundbreaking medical treatment allowed me to enjoy life again and I believe these scientists, and others like them, need to be recognized.
