I can't find his PhD thesis anywhere? Any idea what its about or who the advisor is would be highly useful. Thanks.

Membership in all four national academies

Who is in all four national academies?

Anyone else? The Stony Brook link from 2018 said there were only three living people who "have been elected to all four of the national academies". Since it was not until 2020 that Charles Lieber (National Academy of Engineering, 2020) gained this distinction, there must be at least one other person who I'm missing.

Last name pronunciation

How does Sejnowski pronounce his last name? Can someone provide a link? Josef Horáček (talk) 12:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this one as a start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtozqF0hncM Josef Horáček (talk) 12:32, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, but he himself says it differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIqNFdFhn8w Josef Horáček (talk) 12:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an example that includes both variants: the interviewer pronounces the name in a typical American way, while Sejnowski's pronunciation of if his name follows the rules of Polish pronunciation using the phonetic system of American English. Josef Horáček (talk) 13:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added a pronunciation guide for the last name, using the subject's own pronunciation as a model (see sources above). There is another, more conventionally US-English, pronunciation. If anyone wants to add it to the guide, go ahead. Josef Horáček (talk) 16:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
