Accounts of her research have appeared in USA Today, Time, and Newsweek and have been featured on the Today show and Dateline NBC.

When not slaving over a hot computer writing something, she can usually be found swimming, reading, sitting in the sun, or reading and sitting in the sun -- though usually not swimming while reading and sitting in the sun. Generation Me, her first book, will be published in April 2006 by Free Press, a division of Simon & Schuster.
