Temple faculty, staff
and students make headlines
every day. Read a sampling
of Temple's recent
media hits.
From Reuters:
Parents whose children can’t wait to play with a toy or eat a snack need not worry about their little one’s self-control. Though two studies show low self-control might predict which kids will be overweight as pre-teens, that same quality shouldn’t be viewed as a negative. So says researcher Robert C. Whitaker, professor of public health and pediatrics at the Center for Obesity Research and Education. More.
From the Associated Press:
A nationwide organization that has worked to exonerate hundreds of wrongfully convicted inmates has a new affiliate housed at Temple. The Pennsylvania Innocence Project, based at Temple's Beasley School of Law, will review petitions submitted from around the state by inmates who say they are serving time for crimes they did not commit. More.
From The Washington Post:
Temple Trustee Bill Cosby will be awarded the nation's top humor prize from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for his groundbreaking career. The center announced that Cosby will be honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. More. |
