Human Genome Project
This sentence is factually incorrect, or at least misleading:

Her team was involved in the Human Genome Project and sequenced chromosome 16.

I can understand the mistake: Trewhella was the director of Biosciences at LANL which was the group at LANL that worked on the Human Genome Project, largely (entirely?) before she took on the role, but as the director of the organization she had media appearances and quoted in articles where she talked about the project on behalf of Biosciences at LANL. As a scientist she was not involved at all in the Human Genome project. Wrapperfunction (talk) 17:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Removed as it was based on an article by the subject..... can you provide an independent reference??? Regards, Ariconte (talk) 21:03, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't, I just have direct knowledge of the events as they unfolded. I skimmed the article she wrote, and it is, as I said, Trewhella talking about the work that Biosciences did (before she took over) as the administrative head of that division.  It might be more accurate to say something like "She became director of B which was part of the team involved in the HGP"  (rather than "her team was involved in HGP.  She became director of B") but I think it stands better as it is now without the reference at all.  Wrapperfunction (talk) 21:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * She was admin head of B during key parts of the HGP, but not scientifically involved. I don't have a citation handy, but wanted to make sure the talk page here wasn't misleading Wrapperfunction (talk) 13:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
