Talk:Kristina Shea

Leverhulme Prize
The original text said that Shea won the 2001 Philip Leverhulme Prize in Engineering. The source is a university homepage, and no not necessarily reliable. The claim is not immediately consistent with https://web.archive.org/web/20170227211324/https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/sites/default/files/imported_pdfs/2001.pdf Isabella21312123 (talk) 19:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Our Leverhulme Prize article (where that source is used for 2001) is not consistent with that source. Compare the names of the categories in the Leverhulme Prize article with the categories found in that source. (Also, sources from near 2001 report that there were typically ~25 prizes a year, and this source lists far more names than that.) Something is inconsistent here, but my strong impression is that it's the wrong source, and that it describes some grant program that is not the actual Leverhulme Prize. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:03, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * For another example, the similar-looking source given in Philip Leverhulme Prize for 2003 does not include the actual winners of the 2003 prize, who are named in https://web.archive.org/web/20040712172508/http://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/news#prizes2003 — adding to my impression that the sourcing used for the early history of the prize in our article on the prize is completely bogus. Unfortunately the 2003 prizes were as far back as I found on archive.org. I found an incomplete listing of about half the 2001 winners at 10.1063/1.1445561, none of whom are included in the archive link you give. Shea's own early work such as 10.1017/S1359135503001738, a 2002 publication, includes the acknowledgement text "Current research support is provided by a Philip Leverhulme Prize through The Leverhulme Trust". —David Eppstein (talk) 20:12, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
