2011 Neuroscience

Can we fix the phrasing of this (still circulated despite its 2011-era neuroscience), what are we trying to say? It doesn't sound super professional... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.178.96.244 (talk) 15:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

On 19 February 2009, User:128.12.90.195 tagged this article as not notable (here). Dr. Sapolsky is notable in the field of neuroscience and has achieved recognition and awards that underscore this. I have added mention of one award from the AAAS, which confirms this. I believe he easily satisfies the requirements for WP:Notability (academics). So I'm removing the notability tag. That being said, this article needs quite a bit work to fill it out. --InsufficientData (talk) 22:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Syracuse lecture is a dead link —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.33.164.128 (talk) 02:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a resume - there is still nothing in here that establish real notability. Plenty of scientists and academics have received publications and awards and are not noted in wikipedia, but rather in a database such as pubmed. 128.12.74.102 (talk) 21:35, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name

The article opens stating his middle name as "Maurice", while the full name above the picture reads "Morris". So which one is it? H3st (talk) 08:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did he help defend Bobbie Joe Long?

In a youtube lecture Sapolsky said he helped defend a Florida man who was wanted on multiple murders. Was he talking about Bobbie Joe Long? CartoonDiablo (talk) 04:40, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning up external links

I think this article would benefit from a clean-up of the external links area. It is too long and many go to articles written by Sapolsky himself or about Sapolsky's work. I suggest creating additional subheadings for his popular science articles and talks/interviews in "Selected works". Several examples of articles written about his work could be given in the "Careers" section. Please let me know if there is any problem with this. Sutefu (talk) 20:24, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Junk Food Monkeys and The Trouble with Testosterone

These seem to be the same book under different titles. Metamagician3000 (talk) 06:21, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Robert Zarinsky joke

Some of his students coined the "Robert Zarinsky joke".
It wouldn't be worth-mentioning if it didn't lead to a treatise, but it did.

ethoneuroendocrinologist

Robert Sapolsky writes as an ethologist but he is a neuroendocrinologist at Stanford University. He's a causal analyst of ethology.

make page: Ethoneuroendocrinology
If making a page will be the cause of revelation of much more actual data,

then make the damn — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:8899:4E00:1D36:73E8:EE87:A64F (talk) 10:47, 7 February 2018 (UTC) [reply]
