I plan to lengthen the initial summary of Dr. Shanet’s wiki page first off, in order to give a sense that she was an incredibly accomplished individual in her field and tie that into her presidency of the American Society for Neuroscience, and why she was chosen as the first woman president of the society. Then I plan to strengthen Dr. Shanet’s wiki article’s “Works” section with the bulk of information that I gathered, chronicling her work done as a graduate student on her thesis of the cortical spreading depression and the impacts it had on modern science, how she subsequently became interested in neuroregeneration and her works in regard to that area of study, and the work she has done as a professor and researcher at Weill-Cornell Medical College over the years which is what approximately 3 out of my 6 sources are dedicated to. From there I plan to bolster her “Biography” section with the information presented in The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography by Larry Squire. I plan to put in only relevant information about her time as a college student and researcher/professor; doing research, the people who influenced her, her time spent abroad and the studies she conducted there in her post-doc position, and her renewed focus on teaching in contrast to research in order to promote growth in the fields pertaining to neuroscience. The next thing will be to add a “Personal Life” section to her wiki article. This section will have only a few sentences, detailing her life in the present with her husband and son, it will be short as to not distract from the rest of her article. I then plan on creating a section titled “Publications” with a list of some selected publications Dr. Shanet authored or coauthored in order to convey the sense that she was an incredibly well respected neuroscientist and was fully deserving of the presidency of the American Society of Neuroscience, which I felt as though her wiki article has not conveyed. The Weill-Cornell website that has the information about her publications lists 87 in total, where I will only place approximately 5 of her most highly cited works into the wiki page and leave a link to the rest of the publications in the page. Finally will be the “Honors” section, which I will be tacking “Awards” onto as well. This section will be updated to include all of the information I could find about any and all awards and honors Dr. Shanet has received throughout her life and career for her work in neuroscience, science in general and her dedication to involving young people in science. I also plan to update all of the “References” and “External Links” with all of the latest links and articles where I gathered my information whilst researching. I plan to only add one picture into the article, her most recent portrait from her Weill-Cornell College homepage and that will be right alongside the summary for the wiki article at the top of the page.

Bernice Grafstein is well-known all over the world as Grafstein and not as Shanet. She therefore should appear in Wikipedia as Grafstein and not according to the old fashioned attitude towards extraordinary women!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.64.60.11 (talk) 08:07, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
