Other places tied to Elizabeth Blackburn in the record
In each of these, a source puts Elizabeth Blackburn and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Elizabeth Blackburn was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1970 to 1972period
University of Melbournementioned“She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in 1970 and Master of Science in 1972, both from the University of Melbourne in the field of biochemistry.”source: Wikipedia: Elizabeth Blackburn
2017year
Salk Institutementioned“In 2017, she announced her plans to retire from the Salk Institute the following year.”source: Wikipedia: Elizabeth Blackburn
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
