Talk:Yoshinori Ohsumi

What this article needs
This looks like a CV, not an encyclopedia entry. I don't see how a list of jobs, awards, and papers tells any reader anything interesting about the man and his work. When was any teenager inspired to study biology by reading a list of a great biologist's faculty appointments?

Wikipedia is written for the general reader, not the specialist. WP:NOTJOURNAL. This entry should have a lot more about autophagy, emphasizing his contribution to the field, in terms that a general reader could understand. The NYT story did a good job of that. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/science/yoshinori-ohsumi-nobel-prize-medicine.html To talk about Ohsumi without mentioning baker's yeast is missing the point. Ohsumi's breakthrough was to solve a problem by using yeast as a simpler system.

This entry has nothing about Ohsumi's personal life. I assume he was born, maybe married, and does things besides biology in his spare time. The NYT goes into some of that, and I assume Scientific American and Science will give that too. --Nbauman (talk) 16:50, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
