PSYCH PIONEERS: Psychology professor Amos Tversky, who died in 1996, shared the 2003 Grawemeyer Award for Psychology with longtime Princeton collaborator Daniel Kahneman. The pair incorporated psychology into economic theory, revolutionizing social scientists’ views of decision making by arguing that people are less rational than economic models assume. The award comes on the heels of a 2002 Nobel Prize in economics for Kahneman for the same work, which he told reporters belonged equally to Tversky. (Nobels cannot be awarded posthumously.)
HEADED OVERSEAS: Senior Nathan Parker VanValkenburgh will study world archaeology in Great Britain next year on a Marshall scholarship, while senior Michael Osofsky will study criminal justice as a Mitchell scholar at Queen’s University Belfast.
