Talk:Jack W. Szostak

Born where?
born November 9, 1952 in London

London where? He grew up in Canada, so can we assume he was born in London, Ontario? Wouldn't this also make him a dual citizen? If he was born in the UK, but grew up in Canada, wouldn't this make him tri-citizen? Clarification please. --Rpaege (talk) 18:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

His name sounds hungarian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.102.228 (talk) 21:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

He has Polish last name Szostak (read Shostak) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.151.115.9 (talk) 14:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Polish or Hungarian ancestory - it is still wholly possible that he was born in the UK (that country has large hungarian and polish communities)24.63.67.214 (talk) 01:02, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Jack is of Polish ancestry. His father emigrated from Poland and settled in London. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.214.106 (talk) 02:37, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Nationality
I found sources that say he's Canadian here.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 03:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You can also find sources saying he has American citizenship. So should we say he's Canadian-American or Just leave it out. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 03:10, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any hard evidence that he is anything but Canadian - if he hs rights to live and work in the US, then maybe he's been happy enough not to apply for US nationality?24.63.67.214 (talk) 01:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
