The main page (26 Oct) says, "he received a B.S. from University of California, Berkeley, where he was a student of Harold Urey". Urey himself was a grad student at Berkeley and got his Ph.D. there in 1923. Thereafter, he taught at Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Chicago and Oxford. He didn't return to the UC system until 1958, 5 years after the Miller-Urey experiment at Chicago. I don't think that Miller could have been a student of Urey at Berkeley in the 1947-1952 timespan. Miller was a student of Urey's at Chicago in 1953. I hope that someone can either authenticate the main article or reconcile the apparently contradictory info (Urey biography).

According to the references I found (and included in article) Urey was at Chicago with Miller--not at Berkeley.Glendoremus 01:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wow.

Someone please fix this article.

[edit] I noticed some vandalism

I tried to fix it but probably I am not up to the task. I replaced 'His cult' by 'His work' and 'Australia' by 'California'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.64.123.179 (talk) 15:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub classification

This article is a stub due to its relative shortness. It needs to be expanded with more sources. Capitalistroadster 03:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

Does anyone know good reason (other than vandalism) why an anonymous user should keep changing the introduction?

How does one go about protecting the page? Davy p 18:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
