MEDIA

December, 2008 (first airing)- The Vomitator, Weird Connections, on The Science Channel. This television show addresses some of the motion sickness research that I have conducted with colleagues using an optokinetic drum. The show describes how findings may be useful for a planned expedition to Mars. 

August 11, 2006- How to Cause Motion Sickness: Let’s Hope the Folks at Guantanamo Don’t Get their Hands on One of These, Cognitive Daily.Com. My opinions on what causes motion sickness were covered in this on-line article.

May 19, 2006- Flashy Goggles Combat Space Sickness, New Scientist. My opinions about the promise of newly developed NASA technology to combat space sickness were covered in this on-line article that appeared on this popular science magazine’s website. 

July 20, 2004- Spin Doctors, The Record. This New Jersey newspaper featured an article about motion sickness on the front page of its health section that provided extensive coverage of work conducted in our laboratory.

May 31, 2004- Getting Dizzy? It’s all in your Head, The EagleTribune. This Massachusetts/New Hampshire newspaper consulted and quoted me regarding my views on what causes motion sickness.

July 8, 2003- Vacation Time is Unsettling for Motion Sickness Victims, The Star Ledger. This article featured some of my opinions about what causes motion sickness and what can be done to combat it.

March 28, 2003- I appeared on the evening news for the cable television channel CN8 to comment on the possible effects of imprisonment on captured Americans during the early stages of the Iraq War.
