To be honest, I use the information and skills in child psychology and sociology that I acquired during my research at Rice daily in my work and home life. I continue to write research proposals and grants, and find the organizational skills that I was taught during my research project invaluable. Sincere thanks to Elizabeth and Chad for their efforts in launching me in what has been a truly satisfying career. Amy, or Dr. Jonassen, I should say, sent a picture of herself and her three kids in a pumpkin patch, the kids sitting on pumpkins. Amy looks pretty much the same as she did at Rice, blonde and smiling.
Medical sociology is an important subdiscipline.
Below is an obituary of Sol Levine, a distinguished scholar, in the November 21 issue of The New York Times on the Web. He was 74 and lived in nearby Brookline. The cause was sudden cardiac arrest, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, where Levine was a professor of health behavior in the department of health and social behavior. At his death he was also a senior scientist at the New England Medical Center. He was associated with Harvard as director of the Social Science Program in the 1960s, returned as a guest lecturer in the 1970s and rejoined the faculty as a full-time member in 1990.
