A Psychologist, A Genius?

I read yesterday in the Chronicles of Higher Education that a psychology professor was named a MacArthur Fellow for 2006 - aka the Genius Award. It is even sweeter to me that she does research on racial prejudice and stereotypes.

Jennifer Richeson, 34, associate professor of psychology, Northwestern University. She is a social psychologist examining the behavioral and cognitive consequences of prejudice and racial stereotyping to reveal original insights into the dynamics of interracial interactions.

Kudos!
