It seems odd that the first two paragraphs focus mainly on a job that Thorp used to have, rather than the one he has now. Perhaps most of that material was written when he was at UNC, and only small updates have been made since? I'm not saying that UNC should be ignored; just that it's weird to lead with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.179.165 (talk) 14:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
