solid scientist, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - His collection of honors is amazing, but how about wording something about one award and saying for what, to be a little more precise about what he did? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:43, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: The White Lion was for treating an epidemic of diarrhoeal illness, but none of the sources I read mentioned the reasons for the others. Personally I think it is more interesting for the hook to highlight the variety of international honours he received rather than focusing on one – he is likely the only person in the world to have received all three of these honours together. 97198 (talk) 11:20, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
