Better late then never, I suppose. Harvard Business Review has an article covering the TV Commercials paper. The article is here.

HBR is covering our paper (better late than never), and a blogger picked up an interview that Leif did about said coverage.

Here it is.

Ulf Clarén, a journalist for the Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan recently emailed me about the TV Commercials Paper. Here’s the resulting article. Feel free to translate it for me.

A few moments ago the Dean and Deputy Dean called me to their office. First, I’m not fired, which, of course, is the first thought that crosses your mind when two Deans want to see you. It was actually just the opposite: I was awarded the BP Junior Faculty Chair! That means my teaching requirement goes down by one point with the goal of spending that time on research.  I’m honored and excited!

Aside from hiring me, CMU is sending some strong cues that they like what I’m up to. Today I was featured on the front pages of both the CMU and Tepper websites.

I am genuinely flattered.

I recently did an interview with Shelley Duffy of WZPT Star 100.7’s Morning Show about the Variety Amnesia paper. The segment aired this week and here’s the mp3.

How is it that I had no clue about any of these until I checked the JCR publicity page?

Robin Lloyd over at Live Science also picked up on the variety paper. The article can be found here.

The article was also apparently syndicated to:
- MSNBC
- US News and World Report
- KAKE 10…an ABC channel
- WSAW 7…a CBS channel

- Yahoo! News

I was recently interviewed by Lynne Peeples over at ScientificAmerican.com about the Variety Amnesia paper with Justin and Joe. The resulting article can be found here.

This is the first time I’ve been referred to as Professor in print. Feels pretty good!

The PR folks at Stern asked Justin to put together a press release about our borders research. Here’s what just came across business wire.
