The Cannon-Washburn Hunger Experiment was an experiment performed by Walter B. Cannon and Arthur L. Washburn (of Harvard University) testing the contraction theory, which stated that feelings of hunger are produced by "contractions of the stomach and other parts of the alimentary canal." The experiment consisted of inserting a contraction-measuring instrument (balloon and tube connected to water nanometer) down a subject's throat into his stomach....(continue describing procedure as stated in original study)

(source: Fundamentals...) The experiment and research were published in 1911 in the American Journal of Physiology (Italic text An Explanation of Hunger), and since have been cited frequently in physiology and psychology textbooks.

Include (under both Works and Scientific Contributions sections) a brief mention of Cannon Washburn Hunger research/experiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Bradford_Cannon

Create a bio. page for Dr. Washburn (draft created below and sandbox). We haven't yet added outline, research and references but are thinking that this one could be a longer article compared with Cannon since we could mention his volunteer military service and we have access to more photos of him (in his lab, on the front lines, with the King, etc.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Arthur_Lawrence_Washburn

-Add Washburn and Cannon page links to corresponding Wikis for Notable Harvard Medical School Alumni and List of Harvard University People. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Medical_School#Notable_alumni

-Add a cross-reference link to Washburns in the United States Wiki page for Dr. Washburn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn#Washburns_in_the_United_States

Create a Cannon Washburn Hunger Experiment Page (Dan, do you have a draft created already for this?)

-Link Cannon Washburn Hunger Experiment Wiki page to the Appetite Wiki page (first line of text under Physiological Factors section references the experiment) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appetite

-Add a reference to the the Cannon Washburn Hunger Experiment Wiki page on the Wiki page for Hunger (motivational state) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_(motivational_state)
