Birth date

@MaynardClark: Where did you find her birth date? I didn't see it on the CV. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 15:50, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

The currently published Harvard CV does not include it. IMO we ought to take it off. NTOE: Various Internet sources (other than the current CV) show 3 different dates (9/16/69), 4/5/69, 5/4/69). Calculating December 2020 minus 51 years gives a pretty solid 1969. MaynardClark (talk) 16:22, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
MaynardClark, Gotcha. It'll presumably emerge in a RS at some point, and we can add it then. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 16:24, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Suggested content for coverage of her research

Some statements to consider, summarizing her work:

  • She led a highly-cited study that showed, as of 2006, that HIV treatment had saved over 3 million life-years in the USA alone.[1] (cited over 600 times)
  • She studies the cost-effectiveness of interventions along the continuum of HIV care from screening to prevention to screening and treatment, in the USA and other countries.[2][3][4][5][6] (the Paltiel NEJM 2005 paper has been cited over 600 times, the Paltiel Ann Intern Med 2006 paper over 250 times, the Paltiel Clin Infect Dis 2009 paper over 250 times)

I would edit directly but I know her personally. — soupvector (talk) 12:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I'll also note that much of what's in the "Research" section currently is, IMHO, not research. — soupvector (talk) 17:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Soupvector, I changed it to "COVID-19". Afaik, we'd need secondary commentary on these papers to include them in the article (would be OR to summarize them based only on the research itself). I've seen some news coverage about a few of her papers, and will try to add that at some point. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 17:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
You're right, of course. I'll try to find a few examples, but here's a start:
  • In a contemporaneous commentary, Sten Vermund (is that really a redlink? He's Dean of Yale's School of Public Health) discusses the impact of ref #1.[7]
  • In this 2010 review, Walensky's work is prominently cited (see refs 108, 142, and 143).[8]
  • If you search Google Books for Dr. Walensky's name, you'll find many reference books citing her work.
I'll try to find some more when I get a chance, but I hope others might chip in, too. — soupvector (talk) 06:28, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Rochelle Walensky’s nationality

Why is she listed as Israeli Jewish when she is American? She was born in the United States.

Does Wikipedia normally describe people as Christian American? No 67.188.191.164 (talk) 11:19, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

I fixed it. Anti-Semitic bullshit. Chicagoperson (talk) 22:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Physician-scientist

Physician-scientist is defined in the bio as one with medical degree and Ph.D so why is that applied to this person who doesn't have a Ph.D. In her husband's bio it is consistently applied. Drop the title for this person, change the definition, or explain the deviation — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:E1F0:6560:31A2:8533:BCEB:ECB2 (talk) 16:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
