Slightly misleading phrasing of Sidney Drell's resignation

[edit]

I think the reference to Sidney Drell "resigning from CISAC in protest" over Sally Ride not being offered a position is a bit confusing. It implies that the resignation was a result of her not being hired specifically, but the resignation seems to be a more general issue of not being allowed to give professorships to people in interdisciplinary research groups at Stanford at the time. See this news article from the time: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1988/11/29/arms-control-expert-quits-in-a-dispute-at-stanford/ba021819-9927-484d-9b95-9a6425d186e6/

I don't have access to the original citation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Ride#cite_note-Sherr2014-2), so I'm not sure if that source has a more direct link between Sally Ride and Drell's resignation. 65.175.45.93 (talk) 12:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Add "A ship named after Sally Ride appears in books 2 and 4 of The Expanse series of science-fiction novels."

In chapter 44 of Caliban's War and chapter 4 of Cibola Burn, a ship named Sally Ride makes an appearance. 202.21.124.69 (talk) 02:11, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest adding “…performed a Whipple Procedure, removing …” The name of the operation is Whipple Procedure and is the most common surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer. 12:17, 3 May 2025 (UTC)64.135.136.61 (talk) 64.135.136.61 (talk) 12:17, 3 May 2025 (UTC)Mike in Maine[reply]
