Among the more common trauma disorders are tendinitis, epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and carpal tunnel syndrome. Girault pointed out that ergonomics is just as much psycholog- ical and cognitive as it is physical. “You cannot separate the two; they go hand-in-hand,” he emphasized. In fact, ergonomics is composed of several disciplines. Besides anthropo- metrics, there’s also anatomy, physi- ology, biomechanics, psychology, and engineering design. So how does the Lab fare when it comes to ergonomics? Not so well. “In the six years that I’ve been here, ergonomic injuries have led the way in reportable injuries each year — by far,” said Rowell.

Each year, up to 141 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the Nation’s high- est honors for high school students. In honoring the Presidential Scholars, the President of the Unit- ed States symbolically honors all graduating high school seniors of high potential. From President Lyndon Baines Johnson to George W. Bush, the Presidential Scholars Program has honored more than 5,000 of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Initiat- ed by President Johnson, the Presidential Scholars Program annually selects one male and one female student from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Americans living abroad, 15 at-large students, and up to 20 students in the arts on the basis of outstanding scholarship, service, leadership and creativity through a rigorous selection and review process administered by the U.S. Department of Education. President Johnson opened the first meeting of the White House Commission on Presidential Schol- ars by stating that the Program was not just a reward for excellence, but a means of nourishing excel- lence. The Program was intended to stimulate achievement in a way that could be “revolutionary.” During the first National Recognition Week in 1964, the Scholars participated in seminars with Sec- retary of State Dan Rusk, Astronaut Alan B.
