Christopher Bailey
From January 6 through the 13th, Professor Christopher Bailey and six Wells College students traveled to the Family History Library, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to engage in genealogical research. Each student was able to research their own family history.

On January 16, Professor Bailey hosted approximately 30 chemistry students from the Southern Cayuga Central School in Poplar Ridge. The students and their teacher, Carl Scheffler, were given a tour of Stratton Hall, had an opportunity to discuss opportunities and expectations for studying science at the college level, and worked in the lab to synthesize ferrofluid, an interesting example of nanotechnology.

Christine Iacobucci
Christine Iacobucci has had her paper, "When the Adults Just Don't 
Understand: Practical Consequences of Children's Peer Culture Research" 
accepted by the Language and Social Interaction Division of the International Communication Association. The ICA 2008 conference whose theme is Communicating for Social Impact, will be held this May in Montreal.

This paper examines scholarly research which has led to mainstream attention to "relational aggression" among middle school and high school aged children in the United States. Comparisons are made between research conducted in child development and psychology methodological traditions, and research conducted in the fields of communication, sociology, and anthropology which rely on ethnographic methods. An attempt is made to explain disparities in research findings. The issue of the practical consequences of research is raised as how social problems are defined result in public policies enacted to solve those social problems.
