Re:[tips] Looking for Robert Boice
Some subscribers to TIPS and TeachEdPsych might be interested in a recent post Re: Looking for Robert Boice [Hake (2010)]. The abstract reads: *** ABSTRACT: In response to my post Re: looking for Robert Boice, POD's Gina Hiatt wrote: I heard that Robert Boice had a serious rock-climbing accident and has become somewhat reclusive and not interested in interacting about scholarship. An excerpt from a 2002 email to me from Boice (quoted by permission) shows that what Gina heard is *wrong* on all counts. Despite having tenure at SUNY Stony Brook, Boice was kicked out by a new Provost who thought that Boice's concern with faculty development detracted from the research mission of the university and obtained letters to bolster his case from core members of POD who erroneously claimed that Boice's work was not well-regarded by other professionals. Boice *did* have an accident while squat-lifting in the gym - *not* rock climbing - that badly injured his spine, put him in bed for four years, and placed him on Social Security disability. Boice moved to Tennessee, but far from being reclusive, he futilely attempted to reach out to old friends and was, for a time, back on the academic speaking circuit at UNC-Chapel Hill, U. Virginia, and Gallaudet U. My correspondence with Boice ended in 2002 when my emails to him bounced. IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION ON BOICE'S WHEREABOUTS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *** To access the complete 14 kB post please click on http://bit.ly/atrqYN.

RE: [tips] 41?
Mike Palij wrote: The researchers said they were struck by the variety of ways in which the subjects engaged in sex -- 41 different combinations of sexual acts were tallied According to the supercomputer Deep Thought, the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything is 42. Amazing! A mere computer knows one more combination than we humans do! (Of course, a computer can carry out an exhaustive search, which we humans would likely find exhausting.) Wikipedia supplies a thorough analysis of the number 42, but as far as I can determine, there is no mention of this particular topic: http://tinyurl.com/Wikipedia42 Charles S.

Re: Re:[tips] Looking for Robert Boice
Re: Looking for Robert BoiceRobert Boice was my advisor temporarilly when I was at Mizzou in the mid-1970s.I also served as his research assistant during some of his wild rats research. Actually my posts on domestication and my learning is un natural is an idea I got from Robert Boice.He even had an article published on domestication.I proof read some of his submissions on the ground terrapins. I hope he is ok.However I am not surprised if he has returned to some reclusivity. One tipster who should be current about Boice is Michael Quanty.Michael and I were at Mizzou at about the same time. Hope this helps. Michael omnicentric Sylvester,PhD Daytona Beach,Florida --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Re: [tips] It Takes Women To Make A Group Intelligent
Well, according to the popular article: But the team's scores had little to do with the intelligence scores of individual members, or with the score of the smartest person on the team, the researchers reported. So, actually then, the c factor would have little to do with intelligence. --Mike On Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 4:20 PM, Mike Palij m...@nyu.edu wrote: Science magazine has published an article online that has already been reviewed in the popular media.
