As can be checked by looking at Professor Uhlenbeck's CV, [1] she was a tenured Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago from 1977-83, between her position as Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her position as Professor at the University of Chicago. So UIC should be listed in the "Institutions" section along with the other two. 74.0.62.122 ( talk) 00:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
I believe the notes that "she was the wife..." seem misplaced and are incomplete, and perhaps should be integrated into the main text? As I understand it (from reading the cited biographies and elsewhere), she had the benefit of an MIT educated father and artist mother (although she claims that they held back her education). She married well, into the Uhlenbeck family (as noted), and together with her husband, she came to the University of Illinois. In published remarks about herself, she claimed that she deserved positions at MIT, Princeton etc, where her husband was given offers, but that "he followed her" to Illinois. They later divorced (rather than say, her being widowed). 98.222.133.56 ( talk) 13:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
There does seem to be some misinformation here regarding her marriage(s). This text of this article states that she married Olke C. Uhlenbeck but the information in the box at the top right lists her spouse as Robert F. Williams. There is no Wikipedia article about Williams but the article about Olke C. Uhlenbeck lists Karen Uhlenbeck (her) as his spouse. It appears to me that both articles need corrections. Wcomm ( talk) 00:02, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

According to a source cited in the article, Uhlenbeck was the first female mathematician in NAS. Gliode recently changed that to "second", and I reverted, since none of the three sources cited say that. However, I think Gliode is correct: Julia Robinson was actually the first. Can we have a decent source for this? -- JBL ( talk) 13:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC) Pinging @ GreenMeansGo and Gliode: to please discuss this here instead of edit-warring about it! -- JBL ( talk) 14:32, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Here is a biographical memoir published by the National Academy Press ( alternate link) from 1994 mentioning that Robinson was the first woman elected to the mathematical section of the NAS (pg. 22). An LA Times obituary published in 1985. — MarkH21 ( talk) 00:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
However, I think Gliode is correct: Julia Robinson was actually the first. Can we have a decent source for this?But regarding Cox, if the NAS has separate sections for applied mathematicians and mathematicians, i.e. the NAS regards them separately, then shouldn’t WP? — MarkH21 ( talk) 00:54, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
What is the purpose of having the books and research papers labeled "RNL", etc? Those abbreviations aren't used in the article. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
