March 26, 2000

Several additions were made to the home page.

 

March 3, 2000 In March 2000, the site was opened with much new information. My husband, Robert Weeks designed the site. His inspiration came from many sources, in particular, Kellogg's Mohan Sawhney (Mohansawhney.com) and Yale's Patrick Lynch (patricklynch.net).

I moved most of the information located on my previous web page at Kellogg (http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/thompson/) to my own domain name to make the site easier to maintain and to make it easier to contact me (i.e., shorter and easier to remember URL). I strongly believe that websites such as this should be easily accessible to anyone anywhere in the world and so most of the information on my site is currently available to anyone who wants or needs it. My expectation is that information from the site will be properly referenced.

Here's a brief list of things that are new:

1. The "Home" page now contains a lot more information about what I am currently writing and thinking about. The homepage was designed to be as informative and as up-to-date as possible. To this end, I have three new special feature sections, inspired by my students, colleagues, and friends in industry:

bullet Recent research articles: contains a list of articles written by scholars that are influencing my thinking
bullet Teaching tips: I get numerous requests for teaching materials and by placing these tips on the home page, they can be accessible to everyone who wants and needs it.
bullet Women & Careers: I find myself getting lots of questions about how to manage family and career. Now that I have 3 children (all under 5!), I've developed more than a passing interest in articles that I find empowering and informative. I share my list here.

2. Partnerships: With the recent grant that Dedre Gentner, Jeff Loewenstein and I received from Citigroup, I've become more interested in pursuing academia-industry partnerships. I think there is a lot of real win-win potential for academics and companies. This page describes how I see this working, how to get started, and the benefits involved.

3. The "Search Site" button allows anyone to search the site using key words or phrases. This is an easy way to search for abstracts of papers I've authored or co-authored..
