I've tried to document the significance of this AIDS imaging research, which was widely reported in peer-edited journals (Nature, Science) as well as in the popular press.
Whoever has proposed articles like this for deletion seems to have it out for FSU faculty. I notice that a number of FSU faculty have been flagged for distinction for notability failures, yet it is clear that these faculty meet the notability standards. What exactly is the problem? Either be prepared to state that the facts on the article are inaccurate or that this research is not notable. Coming up with the leading image of the HIV virus is notable by scientific standards, as is indicated by publication in magazines such as Nature and Science and worldwide coverage in scientific news.
I stumbled upon this page while doing a project for a virus class (I'm typing from an FSU computer now), and I would agree with the assertions that FSU faculty are non-notable. I have had every major prof in the bio department, and I would say all their research is trivial and inconsequential. The only exception is Dr. Roux, who's research I would say is the only half-decent work being done in the entire bio department (He gave a lecture on his work in my seminar class that I was very impressed with). The lack of competent professors/researchers is a large part of the reason why the best high school student's in Florida all go to UF (or if they can afford it, to U. of Miami).
Do you know of any ambitious, intelligent high school students that would ever come to FSU? If any straight A student in high school (especially in a Florida high school) says he/she wants to go to FSU, the people in the guidance office, the teachers, and fellow student's would all laugh their asses off.128.186.40.164 (talk) 15:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
