- Thanks for the additional content and refs. The refs do not support Dipp as co-founder of Verastem (ref says Longwood made the founding investment and participated in Series A) nor of Flex (ref says was founded by Westphal, MacKinnon, Bean, and Cermak, and that Dipp and some others were "involved" as advisors... I had already added Axial. Will add the dissertation topic and the various seats as supported by refs Jytdog (talk) 15:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- I meant to ask, it would be great to have refs for when she started those various seats (BIO, etc). Can you provide refs for them? thx Jytdog (talk) 15:42, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

UPE
editThe article seems to have had undisclosed paid editors adding to the article for a long time. I'm adding and leaving a maintenance tag up until others can check over the article for neutrality.
I've already started to remove unreliable sources and info that isn't currently sourced, but it needs more work, especially checking 2008 and onward in the career section. - Whisperjanes (talk) 10:07, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
