message: The article mistakenly says Prof. Levin has a Bachelor of Science degree from Barnard College. She actually has a Bachelor of Arts (see http://jannalevin.com/bio-and-contact), which is the only degree Barnard offers. Even grads who majored in one (or more) of the sciences receive B.A. degrees. See http://admissions.barnard.edu/about/at-a-glance.
The article should also mention that Prof. Levin won the 2007 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for her novel A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines. See http://pen.org/penrobert-w-bingham-prize-winners.

message: Change:
"She earned a Bachelor of Science in..." to "She earned a Bachelor of Arts in..."
Explanation:
At Columbia, degree types are ultimately determined by the type of undergraduate college. Often, a BA in a stem degree from one of the liberal arts colleges of Columbia will be more rigorous (in terms of subject matter material covered) than a given BS equivalent at another institution (likely why Professor Levin seems to have gone straight to a PhD program from undergrad). The fact remains, Barnard College of Columbia only confers traditional BA degrees, not BS degrees.

replies: text: For anyone who sees this, I made this change under the assumption that an academic's biography in the faculty section of their department's website is self-published and about themselves, and so an acceptable source per WP:ABOUTSELF. If this is incorrect, please do revert me and ping me here so I can search for a suitable RS that describes Dr. Levin's degrees. Pinchme123 (talk) 22:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
