Article evaluation

Grammar: The grammar part in the Wikipedia page about Laurie Glimcher needs a little change to make the page more appealing to the readers. Right off the bat the author of the post wrote “ Laurie Glimcher is the daughter of Melvin Glimcher, who was a pioneer in the development of artificial limbs while the chair of the Massachusetts General Hospital Orthopedics Department” this need to have the word while in for the sentence to make sense. In addition to grammar I feel like the page really need to present the biography more of a paraphrase not just adding a bunch of different hypering in the sentence to make it shorter.

Bibliography & Works : Although the bibliography is well written it still have many extra information that are need to add to the page such as childhoods and fundamental principles that Glimcher believes it. More information about her husband and family would also be a good introduction to her life. Scrolling down onto the work page of Glimcher there are a bunch of information on her works but it’ poorly presented as in chronically ordering the events which was confusing and distracting because the readers would have to go back many times to look at it.

Source: With the source being cited every few sentence it’s proven that it can reliable based on the source and information that the author provided in recent sources. Almost all of the source are published in a reliable website based. In the wikipedia page it states “Glimcher, who was the first female dean of any medical school in New York state, will become the first president to lead the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.” seems over important because even though it’s true I feel the first women comment in the article are generalizing women to be the rare exception even though the point of the article was demarginalizing gender role in science. In addition the membership section should be in dated orders.

Women’s Involvement: There is a section called “Women’s involvements” where it talks about Glimcher’s great support for women in the field of science and workplaces. It states “Laurie Glimcher has been considered a champion of women's rights in the scientific by many of her peers.” although there are information on this it would be nice to add a few of her peers and their occupation for more visual support. There are two paragraph in this section and each paragraph have repeated material that was unnecessary for example the mention of paid maternity leaves are mention twice in fact it’s just better to combine the two paragraph to one paragraph for a better result.

NYBC Scandal: Glimcher was called out by groups of protesters while she was on director of New York Blood Center for fstop funding on tested 60 chimpanzees daily care. The article did a good job on citing the source that states that Glimcher wasn’t on the board when the foundation made that decision. In the source there are statements from Moss an anti animal cruelty protester such as “ he believes Glimcher was targeted because she was a “very prominent member of the board, she’s the dean of a medical college, she has treated patients in clinical practice, and she knows that you don’t abandon anyone, human or chimpanzee” to the scadal section can neutralize the text for article’ should be added to present another point of view in the article.
