10:53 a.m., Oct. 16, 2009----UD in the News provides a roundup of recent news items about the University of Delaware, its faculty, students, staff and alumni.
Harsh Bais, assistant professor of plant and soil sciences, was featured in an Oct. 16 National Science Foundation Science 360 article, an Oct. 15 Discovery magazine blog and an Oct. 14 Wired Science article about his research on how plants recognize siblings.
James Angelini, assistant professor of communication, was quoted in an Oct. 16 Philadelphia Inquirer article about negative advertising in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, which pits incumbent Democrat John Corzine against Republican Christopher Christie, a UD alumnus. Angelini said that with such advertisings, voter "will disengage because they'll start having these feelings of uncomfortableness because of the negative tone. We, as humans, don't want to be exposed to negative content, period."
Charles Elson, Edgar S. Woolard Jr. Chair and director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, was quoted in an Oct. 16 article in The New York Times concerning Bank of America. Elson also was quoted in an Oct. 14 Toronto Globe and Mail story about AIG and a report of widespread retention bonuses. “It is odd for a kitchen assistant to receive a retention award,” he said. “If everyone receives a retention bonus, it makes you wonder what the point of the program is.”
Marcia Nickle, emergency preparedness coordinator, was quoted in an Oct. 15 Inside Higher Education article about the ebb and flow of H1N1 flu outbreaks across the country. Having had H1N1 on campus in the spring, Nickle said “we think it's possible some students built up a level of immunity to it,” which might have helped protect UD from a larger outbreak to date this fall.
Joseph Pika, James R. Soles Professor of Political Science and International Relations, was quoted in an Oct. 15 Congressional Quarterly story about the pending battle for the U.S. House of Representatives seat that will be vacated by Republican Michael N. Castle, who has announced a Senate bid. Also, Pika was quoted in an Oct. 12 News Journal article about the battle for the Congressional seat. “It's likely to be a true campaign for the first time in quite a long while,” Pika said.
John Brunelle, psychologist in the Center for Counseling and Student Development, was quoted in an Oct. 15 News Journal article about fans of the Philadelphia Phillies as the team opens the National League Championship Series. "There are definitely raised expectations, so they will continue to cheer and boo because fans think that inspires or motivates the team. On the other hand, they are less defeatist because the team won last year, which buys the team a few years of good will,” he said.
Donald Puglisi, professor emeritus of finance, was quoted in an Oct. 15 News Journal article about the rising Dow Jones industrial average.
John Young, a graduate student in UD's master of business administration program and a member of the Christina Board of Education, was quoted on NBC's Today, Fox News and in the Oct. 14 issue of The New York Times in the wake of a controversy concerning the school district's strict zero tolerance policy that led to punishment of a first grader at Downes Elementary School in Newark after he brought a camping utensil to school. Also, Al Cavalier, associate professor in the School of Education, was quoted in an Oct. 13 USA Today article about the issue.
Douglas Tallamy, chairperson of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, was quoted in an Oct. 13 Associated Press article about his work on native plans and his book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens, and in an Oct. 11 News Journal article about the stink bug, an invasive species. “What we did wrong was bring it here,” Tallamy said.
Irene Davis, professor of physical therapy, was quoted in an Oct. 13 Washington Post column about barefoot running. "You wouldn't want to walk around with a neck brace on for the rest of your life if you had sore neck muscles. It wouldn't make sense. It's the same thing" with running shoes, Davis said.
UD's Sustainable Apparel Initiative was featured in a recent edition of the newsletter Sustainability Outlook.
UD's ribbon cutting at the “Children's Campus” on Wyoming Road, now home to the Early Learning Center, the Laboratory Preschool and The College School, was featured Oct. 8 in a video report by WDEL.
