Hurray for Paul!

For those of you who don't know, Paul did a research project last year with another student and a doctor. They presented this research at a conference in Toronto a few months ago. Their research paper was published this week by JAMA, one of the top medical journals. Here is the link: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/298/8/874

JAMA selects one article per issue to highlight, one they feel to be the most important. Paul's paper was chosen. They interviewed the doctor that Paul and Matt did the research with and then they released the research paper and their interview to the press. So, yesterday their research was all over the news! I'm probably not explaining this very well, but check out this link: www.news.google.com Scroll down to the Health section and it's the very first heading, about hypertension in kids. There are links to all the articles written about their study and their are over 300 of them! The Wall Street Journal, Time, ABC, Forbes, Fox, etc. Pretty exciting!
