The New York Times published an article earlier this week about Dr. James Pennebaker, a psychologist who counts and studies words and leads a resurgent interest in text analysis. It is a fascinating approach to studying communication, by looking at individual words and patterns among people who use particular words.

And speaking of innovative communication research, I am looking forward to heading to Madison tomorrow for the American Association on Communication in Healthcare Research and Teaching Forum http://www.aachonline.org/programs/aachforum. It should be a great conference and I'm sure I'll be bursting with ideas come Monday.
