 * keep granted, she is young and the notability may be thin, but she is published multiple times in a few different science publications, which should count for something. P HARMBOY ( TALK ) 21:25, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not satisfy WP:PROF yet. Having published something or even a lot is not, in and of itself, sufficient for establishing academic notability. To quote item 6 from Notes and Examples in WP:PROF:"Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1." This is certainly a very promising young scholar, and GoogleScholar already shows one well-cited paper (with several co-authors):110 citations, with next citation hits at 44, 20, and 17. That's good but for a very active field like nuroscience not in the notable range yet. A very recent PhD (appears to be 2007), a postdoc at the moment, no significant academic honors or awards yet. Does not pass WP:PROF for now. Nsk92 (talk) 03:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * delete per Nsk92, an h-index of 5 doesn't satisfy me that criterion 1 of WP:PROF is met, and I don't see any evidence that any other criterion is met either. Pete.Hurd (talk) 03:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Nsk92 and Pete Hurd. Let's see again in 5 or 10 years from now. --Crusio (talk) 07:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
