Born in Roanoke, Va., in 1922, she received a B.S. in chemistry from Roanoke College in 1943 and an M.S. in chemistry from the University of Cincinnati in 1947. From 1951 to 1980, she continued as a research associate professor in Engineering Research. From 1980 to 1983, she was associate director of the Engineering Operations Program. She then became associate professor of chemical engineering from 1983 to 1990 before joining the faculty of the BAE department until she retired. Richardson and the late Professor Kenneth O. Beatty were lifelong professional collaborators in chemical engineering, including the development of the first biomedical engineering course at NC State, which she taught. In BAE, she helped undergird the developing biomedical engineering concentration and set the stage for the first ABET- accredited biomedical engineering program in the University of North Carolina System. She received the Sigma Xi Research Award in 1959 and the Roanoke College Alumni Distinguished Service Award in 1970.

  • (Cebus Apella) and 4-Year-Old Children Pay Forward Positive and Negative Outcomes to Conspecifics
    Give What You Get: Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella) and 4-Year-Old Children Pay Forward Positive and Negative Outcomes to Conspecifics Kristin L. Leimgruber1"*, Adrian F. Ward2", Jane Widness1, Michael I. Norton3, Kristina R. Olson1, Kurt Gray4, Laurie R. Santos1 1 Department of Psychology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, United States of America, 2 Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America, 3 Harvard Business School, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 4 Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, United States of America Abstract The breadth of human generosity is unparalleled in the natural world, and much research has explored the mechanisms underlying and motivating human prosocial behavior. Recent work has focused on the spread of prosocial behavior within groups through paying-it-forward, a case of human prosociality in which a recipient of generosity pays a good deed forward to a third individual, rather than back to the original source of generosity. While research shows that human adults do indeed pay forward generosity, little is known about the origins of this behavior. Here, we show that both capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) and 4-year-old children pay forward positive and negative outcomes in an identical testing paradigm. These results suggest that a cognitively simple mechanism present early in phylogeny and ontogeny leads to paying forward positive, as well as negative, outcomes.

  • Pay It Forward
    Pay it Forward 1 READING What do you think ‘pay it forward’ means? How is it different from ‘paying someone back’? Read the article and check your ideas. The man at the front of the queue for coffee was surprised. ‘Why is my coffee free?’ ‘The woman ahead of you paid for it.’ replied the server. So the man paid the bill for the next customer in the queue. And she did the same. Amazingly, people just carried on buying coffee for the customer behind them for three hours, and 288 people. ‘There was a great feeling in the coffee shop,’ said Maria LaTrobe, one of the servers at the café in Winnepeg, Canada. ‘Something like this just makes you feel happy all day.’ It seems to be a growing trend in Canada, with more and more stories of strangers paying for others’ groceries, parking tickets, train tickets and even meals, and leaving without being thanked. But the idea isn’t a really a new one. It’s often called ‘paying it forward’, which means that instead of paying someone back for their loan or favour, you pay it forward to someone else, creating a chain of generosity. One famous example from the past was the famous American, Benjamin Franklin, who in 1784 lent money to a man on the condition that he helped another person at some point in the future. Of course, it doesn’t have to be about money. Any act of kindness, such as helping someone carry something heavy, or picking something up for them can make both you and the person you helped feel good.

    4/19/2021 AAID Update: NONMEM MSG Dr. Duke Heller April President's Message Coffee with Duke… Paying It Forward Dear AAID Colleague: Do You ever PAY IT FORWARD? Pay it forward is an expression that describes the beneficiary of a good deed who repays kindness to others, instead of returning it to the original benefactor. Where did this concept get started? Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) wrote a letter to Benjamin Webb on April 25, 1784. He started this letter with the concept in the first paragraph!!! “I do not pretend to give such a deed; I only lend it to you. When you meet with another honest Man in similar Distress, you must pay me by lending this Sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the Debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with another opportunity. I hope it may thus go thro' many hands, before it meets with a Knave that will stop its Progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money.” I had the opportunity to work as the team dentist alongside Coach Woody Hayes in 1961-62. It was a thrill for me since Woody’s mother use to watch over me when I was a young boy in Newcomerstown, Ohio. Hayes’s father was the superintendent of Newcomerstown High School. In his book, You Win With People, Woody tells different stories of Paying It Forward. I personally benefited from Woody Hayes who believed in using this principle. I was president of Sertoma (Service to Mankind), a civic organization.
