Claim
Throughout these years of academic service, he served as Ph.D. advisor to over 40 students.
Correction
CU Boulder’s memorial page says Born served as PhD advisor to 39 students, so “over 40” overstates the documented count.
Full reasoning
The most detailed official biographical source from George Born's home institution states: "During his career, he served as PhD advisor to 39 students." Because Born died in January 2016, that count is fixed. The claim that he advised "over 40" PhD students is therefore an overstatement of the documented total.
