KSBY Interview on New Year’s Resolutions
Along the same theme as my previous blog post, our family was asked to participate in an interview with our local NBC affiliate for a segment on New Year’s Resolutions. We received a phone call from our Jenny Craig Centre director, asking us if we would be willing to do this in the next half hour, so we all piled into the car (usually we walk the one mile to the Centre). I suppose we are a good story of weight loss for the new year.

Web>clicker…son (daughter?) of the i>clicker?
As my readers know, I am a huge fan of the i> clicker audience response system . My students seem to like it, too, but some have complained that they lose the remote or it’s too expensive (our bookstore sells it new for $29). So I was very excited to see that the ever-inventive folks at i> clicker were working on a new app that could be used on a phone or laptop, saving money for the students at the same time as solving the “I lost my clicker” problem.
Our Student Group Work Mentioned in SciAm Mind
Congrats to last year’s APS student research group for getting some nice recognition in this quarter’s issue (Jan/Feb) of Scientific American Mind. Writer David DiSalvo incorporated our results into his article “ Are Social Networks Messing With Your Head ?” We found that in contrast with previous reports of people “being somebody else” online, our college student participants brought their personas with them.
