Edit Request: Updated Biography & Sources

Manuelcorpas (talk) 10:36, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Disclosure: I am Dr. Manuel Corpas, the subject of this article, and therefore have a conflict of interest (COI). Per Wikipedia’s COI guidelines, I am submitting this edit request rather than making the changes directly.

Reason for Request

1. Demonstrated Public Engagement: Independent Spanish‐language media outlets have covered my work in genomics and bioinformatics, citing my contributions in areas such as open science, personal genomics, and population genetics.
2. Public Speaking & Conferences: I have presented at numerous conferences and events (in Spain and internationally), often with media coverage. Adding these references can help illustrate the notability and breadth of public engagement.
3. Influencer / Thought Leader: My roles in open‐source bioinformatics projects and my active participation in social media discussions (including recognized “top influencer” lists at major genomics events) further showcase third‐party acknowledgment of my influence.

Proposed Addition to Article Text

I respectfully propose creating or expanding a section—perhaps titled “Media Coverage and Public Engagement”—to include the following:

Media Coverage

Multiple Spanish‐language outlets have reported on Dr. Corpas’s work and public appearances. In 2024, for instance, Onda Cero Radio (Spain) profiled a genomics expedition he co-led in the Amazon, describing it as a “misión científica pionera” investigating genetic diversity in remote indigenous communities.^[O1]

El Periódico highlighted Dr. Corpas as “pionero en compartir en Internet la base genética de su familia,” noting his open‐science approach to personal genomics.^[E1] El País, Spain’s major newspaper, has featured him in articles on cutting‐edge genomic medicine and the need for formalized clinical genetics education, citing his academic and industry roles.^[E2] In these pieces, he provides expert commentary on integrating genomic data into Spanish healthcare.

Additional outlets, including Málaga Hoy, InfoSalus/Europa Press, Tendencias21, and specialized publications like Genotipia, have covered Corpas’s conference talks and personal genomics research, underscoring his role as a leading Spanish expert in bioinformatics.

Public Speaking and Conferences

In October 2024, Dr. Manuel Corpas was featured in an interview by Front Line Genomics, where he discussed his research, career, efforts to increase diversity in genomics data, and his recent expedition to the Amazon. This interview provides insight into his contributions to the field and his role in promoting inclusivity within genomics.

Request for Review

I invite other Wikipedia editors to review these references and proposed text to ensure it meets a neutral point of view, adheres to all relevant policies (e.g., WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV), and appropriately reflects available third‐party coverage. I’m aware that editors may rephrase or reduce details to maintain encyclopedic style.

Thank you for considering these updates to illustrate the independent media coverage and public engagement associated with my work. I welcome any changes necessary to align the content with Wikipedia’s standards. Manuelcorpas (talk) 10:36, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
