Research by Catherine
DeSoto, ‘99 MA psychology, ‘01 PhD psychology,
on borderline personality disorders in women appeared in the August
issue of the journal Science as a news item. She began the research
as her dissertation work with MU professor and co-author David
Geary. The research suggests that shifts in estrogen levels can
worsen symptoms and this could underline the gender difference
commonly found in the prevalence of the disorder. DeSoto, now
at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, is continuing
the research, which may have implications for women trying to
decide whether to take oral contraceptives or hormone replacement
therapy.
John Lawrence,

Association of School Administrators.
Actor Chris
Cooper won a Golden Globe Award for his work in the
