Talk:John Krakauer

Notable, i think
I started the accompanying stub after seeing him on Charley Rose, in the third of the monthly panels on brain science led by Nobelist Eric Kandel. I presume Kandel chose him for the task bcz of the cutting-edge work he's doing (e.g. new practice of getting post-stroke rehab training going in first month, instead of around three months, based on evidence of a limited period of ability to develop compensating connections to stand in for areas damaged by the stroke). Sounds to me like he's a step or two above the average professor in notability. --Jerzy•t 07:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh! Forgot i'd seen him before. Tonite's was the 10th episode; no August one but at least three more Sept.-Nov. (tho some sources expect 12 total). (I note, however, that we so far have no article on the series.

Confusion with journalist
I just corrected 5 articles (out of 6) with lks to John that were intended for Jon. If another 6 months produces a similar proportion, the John Krakauer bio should be renamed to John Krakauer (neuroscientist) and the unqualified title become a Dab with John in the first entry and Jon as an entry under "See also". --Jerzy•t 07:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC) That was done on purpose by Mormons. Thanks for fixing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.89.55.81 (talk) 15:43, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
