Marvin Zuckerman, professor emeritus of psychology, was quoted in a March 1 USA Today story on teen-aged drivers. Zuckerman said teens tend to take risks behind the wheel because they are “sensation seeking,” a phenomenon that peaks around age 19 or 20. "It's no coincidence the peak accident rates are in those age ranges," he said. Kimmie Meissner, a member of the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club currently representing the United States at the International Skating Union World Junior Championships, was featured in the Feb. 28 Baltimore Sun. Linda Gottfredson, professor of education, was quoted in a Feb. 28 Associated Press story on reaction to comments by Harvard University President Lawrence Summers concerning the under representation of women in some scientific fields. "I think it's an outrage that certain questions ... can't be raised in an academic atmosphere," Gottfredson said. Charles Elson, Edgar S. Woolard Jr. Chair and director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, was quoted in a Feb. 26 Associated Press story on sales of stock by the top two executives at ChoicePoint. To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
