1240042696 2024-08-13T05:49:27Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Removed Virgil (Ben) Carlson oral history from the TODO, he didn't remember much and it was all covered in Mortimer Mishkin's anyway.
1240042012 2024-08-13T05:40:50Z Aurodea108 Added a sentence to the lead about neuroplasticity. Will cite Mortimer Mishkin's 2002 C oral history.

1240035145 2024-08-13T04:21:03Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Noted that Karl Pribram was a Yale professor. (Lashley was not, so perhaps Pribram had been her Ph.D advisor?)
1240034920 2024-08-13T04:18:57Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Made Yerkes lab a link, and mentioned that it was originally associated with Yale.

1240032014 2024-08-13T03:48:20Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Changed the link to Queen Square to go specifically to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. Evarts also worked there.
1240025127 2024-08-13T02:30:21Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Added the date (per Dr. Robert Cohen) by which Semmes had married Ed Evarts.

1240019188 2024-08-13T01:37:53Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Added paragraph about lunch discussions with other neuroscientists in Teuber lab.
1240015864 2024-08-13T01:11:34Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Noted nickname "Jojie".

1239998630 2024-08-12T22:44:30Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Moved the reference to Queen Square after the period at Yerkes lab. The Weinstein reminiscence suggests she may have come to NYU from Queen Square.
1239998388 2024-08-12T22:41:27Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Minor copy editing.
1239998085 2024-08-12T22:38:07Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Minor copy editing.

1239982529 2024-08-12T20:46:57Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Moved the Bob Blum reference later.
1239982185 2024-08-12T20:44:28Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Fixed Karl Pribram link.
1239982089 2024-08-12T20:43:44Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Made Karl Pribram a link.
1239981875 2024-08-12T20:42:16Z Aurodea108 Added that Semmes was present during the naming of the field of neuropsychologoy.
1239980295 2024-08-12T20:32:11Z Aurodea108 Added that Semmes had at some point been married to Bob Blum. Although Pribram refers to her as Josephine Semmes-Blum-Evarts in his reminiscence about working with Lashley at Yerkes, it seems that Semmes would not have met Evarts yet by that point.
1239977086 2024-08-12T20:10:27Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Added that Weinstein completed his dissertation in 1952 (thus, the latest date for the development of the Semmes-Weinstein microfilaments).
1239974024 2024-08-12T19:50:07Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Wrote another TODO about going through other NIH oral histories.
1239971503 2024-08-12T19:32:52Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Switched the order of Chicago and London—based on the Pitts biography, Chicago must have come first?
1239970878 2024-08-12T19:29:11Z Aurodea108 Rearranged the lead, putting Semmes's work on hemispheric lateralization first. The development of the Semmes-Weinstein neurofilament test was instrumental to her brain mapping research. It appears the clinical application of the test was a side benefit.
1239969643 2024-08-12T19:20:01Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Removed extraneous whitespace.
1239969573 2024-08-12T19:19:26Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Described the findings in Semmes et al 1960, based on a book review.
1239966577 2024-08-12T18:52:50Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Made subsequent reference to Teuber not a link.
1239966372 2024-08-12T18:51:14Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Removed the reference to "Josephine Semmes Evarts" as it is not clear that she ever actually used this name, and referring to Find A Grave is apparently not allowed anyway. When Evarts died in 1985, he was survived by a different wife, Ritva.
1239965710 2024-08-12T18:45:36Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Removed middle name from the first mention of Warren McCulloch.
1239965488 2024-08-12T18:43:48Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Changed the description of McCulloch to "friend and colleague", as the paper says the relationship between Pitts and McCulloch was more collegial by this point.
1239965051 2024-08-12T18:39:52Z Aurodea108 /* Personal Life */ Added friendship with Walter Pitts and possibly undisclosed romantic interest from him.
1239962412 2024-08-12T18:17:18Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Added that the Semmes et al monograph was published in 1960.
1239962304 2024-08-12T18:16:17Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Fixed markup.
1239962101 2024-08-12T18:14:23Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Attempted to clarify that the Bellevue Hospital work was at the same time as the NYU work.
1239961973 2024-08-12T18:13:15Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Added information from the pathways book: Semmes had worked at McCulloch Pitts lab and for Karl Lashley at the Yerkes primate lab. Mentioned the 1960 book Semmes et al.
1239960703 2024-08-12T18:01:41Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Added that Semmes worked in Hans-Lukas Teuber's research group.
1239959766 2024-08-12T17:53:57Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Removed access-date from the Pathways book reference.
1239959039 2024-08-12T17:48:05Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Separated and expanded the TODO to list her selected works, including the 1960 monograph Semmes et al.
1239958678 2024-08-12T17:44:46Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Added a TODO to incorporate the information about Semmes in the Pathways book.
1239958093 2024-08-12T17:39:45Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Named the _Pathways To Prominence in Neuropsychology_ reference.
1239957974 2024-08-12T17:38:40Z Aurodea108 /* Career */ Inserted that Sidney Weinstein was working in Hans-Lukas Teuber's lab, with reference.
1239955486 2024-08-12T17:17:40Z Aurodea108 Fixed the DOI entries in the references to Semmes-Weinstein monofilament use in leprosy and diabetic neuropathy.
1239955128 2024-08-12T17:14:58Z Aurodea108 Added citations for the use of Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments in leprosy and diabetic neuropathy in the lead. Removed this task from the TODO.

1238418570 2024-08-03T19:49:48Z Aurodea108 Made a lead paragraph and a separate section, "Career".
1238417552 2024-08-03T19:43:10Z Aurodea108 Added a sentence, with source, about Semmes's pioneering hemispheric lateralization hypothesis. Wrote a TODO about expanding this and adding a list of papers.

1238411903 2024-08-03T19:05:04Z Aurodea108 Added a sentence about the commemorative plaque from the leprosy researchers calling the Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments a "gift to the world".
1238410076 2024-08-03T18:53:25Z Aurodea108 Added a sentence about Semmes's further neuropsychology research at NIH.
1238407096 2024-08-03T18:35:46Z Aurodea108 Fixed Weinstein references.
1238406696 2024-08-03T18:33:17Z Aurodea108 Renamed the Weinstein reference, attempting to fix it.
1238405830 2024-08-03T18:28:06Z Aurodea108 Attempted to fix the references to Weinstein's article.
1238405498 2024-08-03T18:25:40Z Aurodea108 Added information from a new secondary source, Sidney Weinstein's article "Fifty years of somatosensory research". The start of the article says that the librarian Judy Bell-Krotoski had also approached Josephine Semmes in April 1992 to ask about this history, but Semmes could no longer recall at that point.
1238398222 2024-08-03T17:39:24Z Aurodea108 Minor copy editing.

1238397625 2024-08-03T17:36:06Z Aurodea108 Named two references and cited them as sources in the Personal Life section.
1238397138 2024-08-03T17:33:09Z Aurodea108 Changed the "example" external link to one describing the history of Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing. This seems interesting and even-handed but not a secondary source, as it appears to be a website selling an alternative tactile sensitivity device specifically for diabetic neuropathy.

1238315979 2024-08-03T07:53:49Z Aurodea108 Updated link to Sidney Weinstein to make it clear to whom it’s referring.
1238122377 2024-08-02T07:04:55Z Aurodea108 Moved the note about the Sidney Weinstein link to a separate TODO.
1238122073 2024-08-02T07:02:19Z Aurodea108 Noted that Prof. Sidney Weinstein needs his own Wikipedia article, the link I made now goes to the Wikipedia article for Sidney T. Weinstein which is different.
1238121669 2024-08-02T06:59:22Z Aurodea108 Had found a mention of Josephine Semmes while reading about her husband Edward Vaughan Evarts, and compiled what I was able to find in this stub article.
