Jared's Article is in the LA Times!

Jared is an official published author. His research study was published in Healthcare for Women International this month. He did this study in Mexico during May and June 2007. His psych professor helped him do some of the statistics and prepare for application, etc.

That's not all! He has been mentioned in lots of newspapers, etc. And this week he was contacted by the L.A. Times. Wow!!!

This is the link to the LA Times blog story on Jared's article about how husbands' migration affects wives in rural Mexico. There is also a link there to the full text of the article if you feel like some interesting reading. Feel free to post a comment there and disagree with the first comment posted.

A little warning before you read: Jared (and I) are very pro-immigration, so if you are anti, you might not want to read anything and just tell Jared congrats for getting published regardless. Actually, his newspaper debut is pro-immigration. The article itself you would be more than welcome to read. It doesn't offer an opinion on immigration at all. It's just the findings of his research. Hope I didn't offend anyone, and I also hope you forgive me for rambling...
