22

After my exhausting search/study, I think UCL has at least 22 Nobel affiliations, more than UCL's official count (21). (68g (talk) 01:14, 26 April 2011 (UTC))

Who is the additional 22nd name? Do you have a citation for them? Rangoon11 (talk) 01:18, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
1938 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate Corneille Heymans. Please check his Nobel biography. I think he worked (as a researcher, equivalent to today's postdoctoral research fellow) at the UCL Department of Pharmacology under Prof. Ernest Starling. (68g (talk) 01:22, 26 April 2011 (UTC))
Yes I see that, and therefore agree with your conclusion as he is not on the current list on the UCL web site listing the 21 prize winners who they have identified ([1]. Perhaps you should let them know so that they can correct their list! Rangoon11 (talk) 01:27, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
I guess that this article List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation should also be updated. Rangoon11 (talk) 01:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Baron Todd

Alexander R. Todd (1957 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) held the position Reader in Biochemistry at the University of London during 1937-38. Was the position at UCL?

I searched a little bit, till now both KCL and Imperial haven't counted him into their Nobel affiliations. Could he be UCL's? Personally I think he could be at King's ...

Btw, a "Reader" position is equivalent to "Professor" in American academic system, so it's a pretty high and formal position (UK's professor = US' chair professor). (68g (talk) 03:29, 2 May 2011 (UTC))

Highly dubious list

This list is extremely dubious. It has individuals with no substantial link to UCL. Trygve Haavelmo studied statistics at UCL in autumn 1936. He was there for only one semester.[2] May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser were affiliated with UCL for only 2 months.[3] UCL's official Nobel list doesn't include Haavelmo, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser.[4] It is absurd to include people who have spend only few months at UCL; such padding destroys the credibility of the list.

Haavelmo was associated with UCL for at least one semester. I am not removing him from the list. In case of Mosers, they were at UCL for only two months. I have removed them. In Heels (talk) 08:03, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
