Draft:Greg Gage
| Submission declined on 3 November 2023 by M4V3R1CK32 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

| Submission declined on 16 July 2023 by Edward-Woodrow (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. | |

Comment: Language is much improved but sourcing is primarily primary sources. The NYT story is WP:ROUTINE. The CNN source helps establish notability but we need more sources that demonstrate interest in the subject before it can pass AfC. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 00:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
Greg Gage is an American neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and science communicator. He co-founded Backyard Brains, a company providing neuroscience experiment kits for educational use.[1]. Gage also holds an adjunct position in the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor[2].
Early Life and Education[edit]
Born in the United States, Gage pursued an early interest in electronics and computers. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University and subsequently a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Michigan[2]. His research involves creating affordable neurotechnologies.
Career[edit]
During his doctoral studies, Gage and his labmate Tim Marzullo established Backyard Brains in 2009. The company aims to broaden accessibility to neuroscience by offering experiment kits designed for educational use. These kits have been adopted in various schools and institutions globally[3].
Gage's professional endeavors include advocating for neuroscience education. He has participated in public events and has delivered multiple TED Talks demonstrating neuroscience experiments involving invertebrates, humans, and plants[4].
In 2022, he contributed to the field's literature by co-authoring "How Your Brain Works"[5], a book detailing open-source methods for electrophysiological signal recording.
Awards and Recognition[edit]
Gage's contributions to neuroscience education have been recognized with awards, including the Society for Neuroscience Next Generation Award in 2010[6], the White House Champion of Change award in 2013[7], and the Tibbetts Award from the United States Small Business Administration in 2020[8]
