Talk:Lasker Award

message: Please visit http://www.laskerfoundation.org/awards/awards.html for more accurate information about these awards. The awards are not only given to living persons, but also to organizations and publications. (See the sections on Public Service.) The article might be more interesting if you listed some of the winners; for example, Christopher Reeve was a 2003 recipient. 
It might be interesting to note that a Lasker Award was given to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1951. The citation reads, in part, as follows: 
:The American Public Health Association presents a Lasker Group Award for 1951 to Alcoholics Anonymous in recognition of its unique and highly successful approach to that age-old public health and social problem, alcoholism.... In emphasizing alcoholism as an illness, the social stigma associated with this condition is being blotted out.... Historians may one day recognize Alcoholics Anonymous to have been a great venture in social pioneering which forged a new instrument for social action; a new therapy based on the kinship of common suffering; one having a vast potential for the myriad other ills of mankind.
Alcoholics Anonymous, p.571, 4th ed., 2001, Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.

If no discussion is had, nor action taken, within 5 days of posting the proposed content, I will proceed and add it to the article. If there are any questions/concerns/edits to my proposed actions, please discuss on my talk page. // Brycetom (talk) 15:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed Updates to Article 

message: I work for Rubenstein Communications and I'd like to update the fourth sentence in the introductory paragraph on behalf of The Lasker Foundation. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor review the edits and take them live, as they see fit. If no objections are had and no edits are made within three days, I will go ahead and update the entry myself.
Sentence currently says:
Eighty-three Lasker laureates have received the Nobel Prize, including 31 in the last two decades.
Sentence should say:
Eighty-six Lasker laureates have received the Nobel Prize, including 32 in the last two decades.

message: I have come across references to a Lasker Award made for mental health work. I believe it is formally known as the 'Lasker Award of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene'. An example is Lawrence K. Frank who received the award in 1946. This is an example of historical Lasker Awards that are no longer awarded, see Historical Archive:  Awards No Longer Given by the Foundation. I am intending to go through that list and see what can usefully be added to this article (possibly all of it). Carcharoth (talk) 13:37, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
