death Josef Breuer Died 20 Jun 1925 at age 83 (born 15 Jan 1842). Austrian physician whose cathartic method was acknowledged by Sigmund Freud and others as the principal forerunner of psychoanalysis. Breuer found (1880) that he had relieved symptoms of hysteria in a patient, Bertha Pappenheim, (called Anna O. in his case study), after he had induced her to recall past unpleasant experiences under hypnosis. By describing her traumatic experiences and feelings about them to Breuer she seemed to get some relief from debilitating symptoms such as partial paralysis and hallucinations. Although Breuer's treatment was not nearly as successful as he and Freud claimed, she eventually overcame her symptoms to become an innovative social worker and a leader of the women's movement in Germany. |

World's oldest small mammal In 2005, a 41-yr-old wild bat was reported in an article received by the Journal of Gerontology. A male Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) was identified as the world's oldest known small mammal from a band attached during a project in the Biryusa karst region of Siberia in Russia. Over a number of years around 1962, 1544 individual M. brandtii bats in cave colonies had been banded. These bats are small - only about 6-g. A long annual hibernation is suggested as one cause of the exception longevity of bats. M. brandtii bats hibernate from late Sep until mid-Jun. Earlier age records include a 24-yr-old female little brown bat found 30 Apr 1960 in the U.S. and on 25 Aug 1999, a newspaper reported a 33-yr-old wild bat in Europe. |

death Jack Kilby Died 20 Jun 2005 at age 81 (born 8 Nov 1923). Jack St Clair Kilby was an American electrical engineer who invented the first integrated ciruit (IC), for which he shared the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics. His interest in electronics grew out of his in school-age hobby of amateur radio. Year later, working at Texas Instruments, he devised a way to miniaturize a complicated transistor circuit by building its components on a block of silicon with internal connections that eliminated external wiring. On 12 Sep 1958, he demonstrated his first integrated circuit to his supervisor. A few months later, an IC device in an improved form was independently invented elsewhere by Robert Noyce. Geoffrey W.A. Dummer also had the concept years earlier, but not a working device. In Sep 1965, Kilby's team developed the first shirt-pocket electronic calculator using IC's. |
