Paula Geiselman, Ph.D. ’83

---

 

Paula Geiselman received her Ph.D. in psychology this year, majoring in psychology and minoring in neuroanatomy and comparative psychology.

Geiselman has published 14 manuscripts and 24 abstracts and has presented 18 papers at professional meetings. She already is a well-known and respected physiological psychology both nationally and internationally. Geiselman is probably best known for her new theory, relating the ingestion of carbohydrates to appetite and hunger, which was published as a position paper and featured as a target article for comment in the professional journal Appetite. She recently appeared on “The World of Knowledge,” a medical program with the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation where her research and theory were discussed. Her work is currently being abstracted to appear in a French general science journal, and she has been invited to do an interview on the Physician’s Radio Network. A member of Sigma Xi, Geiselman will chair the physiological psychological psychology section of the Western Psychological Association in 1984.

Geiselman received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Ohio University, where she graduated from 4.0 grade point average and ranked first in a class of 3,713 undergraduates.
