 | | 3:36 p.m., May 3, 2007--Parents of young infants are filled with questions about their child's future development. This is especially true for parents of an infant born at a higher than normal risk of developmental problems, such as those born early or with a brain lesion.
Galloway said the grant would enable the continuation of his group's research into learning and coordination among high-risk infants, and would link several laboratories and institutions.
In addition to Galloway's team, the project will include Mark E. Stanton, UD professor of psychology and expert in the developmental psychobiology of learning and memory, the leading-edge image processing facilities at the Delaware Biotechnology Institute, and the brain imaging and neonatal intensive care at area hospitals, including Christiana Care Health System. | | | | 4:55 p.m., May 24, 2007--The UD chapter of Sigma Xi, the scientific research society, will present its 2007 Undergraduate Thesis Awards to seven seniors Saturday, May 26, at departmental Convocation exercises during UD's 158th Commencement.
The award is given for research that advances the knowledge of science or math, uses knowledge in a new way and that communicates research results meaningfully.

Laura S. Shankman | | | | 2:38 p.m., June 12, 2007--Mary Dozier, Amy E. du Pont Chair of Child Development in UD's Department of Psychology, recently received the Bowlby-Ainsworth Award at the Society for Research in Child Development biennial meeting.
Given by the New York Attachment Consortium, a part of the Center for Mental Health Promotion, the award is one of the most prestigious in the field and honors John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, who were leaders in research on attachment in children. | | | | Deb Watson has been selected to receive a Sandra G. Wiener Student Investigator Award to attend the 2007 meeting of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology (ISDP) in San Diego.
Deb's doctoral mentor is Mark Stanton. Her current research primarily focuses on developmental neurological disorders, such as autism and fetal alcohol syndrome. She is interested in how they relate to learning, and also in using animal models to study these disorders.
Sandra Weiner was the first female valedictorian in MIT history. She then went to Stanford University, where she was a doctoral student and long-time associate of Seymour (Gig) Levine (also a former UD Psychology professor). ISDP set up this award in her memory in appreciation of her outstanding service to the Society during a 7-year struggle with cancer. ISDP makes 2-3 Weiner Awards per year from a pool of ~50-60 travel award applicants. | |
