Pay attention to what they tell you to forget: What we know, what we want, and how it affects our health

Abstract

my major professor, who has been my instructor, my adviser, my encyclopedia, and my library; Kevin de Laplante, who enthusiastically stepped in to serve on my Program of Study committee and contribute his ideas and expertise; Anastasia Prokos, who, beside serving on my Program of Study committee, has been my teacher and my role model; Carla Fehr, who, although she could not participate in my final thesis defense, was there along the way as a wellspring of encouragement and information; Janet Krengel, my officemate and friend, who saw me through the day-today trials of work, adulthood, and graduate student life; my parents and siblings, who have been both the wind in my sails and my safe harbor for more than twenty-four years now; and especially my sister Callyn, who, although she could have spent her weekend doing exciting things, donated her time to sort through my pages and pages of obscure references (such as, "Stoltenberg-can't remember which book, but this is the quote… It might have been the Russell book, or…no, wait, the Disch book? I'm not sure") to finding the necessary information to transform my chicken scratch into a bibliography that could actually be used.
