Education

Adding PhD as Education - replacing High school in side block Spandox (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neuroscientist

It's odd to describe her as a neuroscientist just because she has a PhD. Normally one works beyond earning their degree to constitute a career and be called a scientist (or whatever occupation for that matter-it applies to economics, teaching, etc. too). Do other sources call her a neuroscientist or just state that she has a PhD? If it's the latter, calling her a neuroscientist would fall under wp:synth.

Sources have called her a neuroscientist. See pieces like these for examples. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:35, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. If that's what the sources say (even though I disagree with it), keep it in. Hollth (talk) 01:44, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Having a PhD does generally qualify someone to be referred to by their field (unlike a Bachelor's or Master's)

Personal Life

Just wondering if there's a reason her personal life is below her filmography, usually it goes before.--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 19:23, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No idea why it was like that before, but thanks for the rearrangement. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:05, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, weird. It was reverted so I'm not going to start an edit war over it, it just seems unusual since on most pages it goes early life, some career stuff, personal life, then filmography.--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 18:45, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While there is, unfortunately, no hard and fast rule, the general BLP/bio pattern is: early life, career and professional accomplishments, then personal life. Since notability usually derives from professional work and accomplishments, not the personal life, that order makes sense. But the other user has since reordered them on the aesthetic of prose sections first, as if that matters. I disagree. But again, there is no definitive order.
