The spread of personal computers allowed scientists to easily write and edit their ideas, leading to faster publications. After acquiring the Mac Classic, Wehr said that it “revolutionized [his] approach to data-analysis, graphics and writing.” Wehr, the former chief of the Clinical Psychobiology Branch at NIMH, is best known for his research on the effects of light on the secretion of melantonin and on sleep. Wehr and NIMH colleague Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal identified and described Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and developed light therapy to treat it well before Wehr’s success was amplified by the Mac Classic. Wehr went on to co-author “Circadian Rhythms in Psychiatry (Psychobiology and Psychopathology)” with Frederick Goodwin. [13.0014.002]
