GREAT story with nutgraf in NYTIMES

Couldn't resist sharing. Good example of writing a story based on a study!!! Aren't you writing a story based on a study for class?
In Study, Fatherhood Leads to Testosterone

  2. The NYT pulled out a great quote for its quotation of the day:

    "A dad with lower testosterone is maybe a little more sensitive to cues from his child, and maybe he's a little less sensitive to cues from a woman he meets at a restaurant." -- PETER GRAY, an anthropologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, on a study finding that fatherhood decreases testosterone levels.

    I would have loved to be in THAT editorial meeting. I must pass on to Tom Jolly that a NYT story about testosterone ends up in a Harvard thread about nutgrafs!
