Soundbite

Here is a sampling of quotations from Cornell University faculty, students and staff that have appeared recently in the national and international news media:

[The desks provide workers with the] "ability to change their work posture without having to stop doing their computer work ... The whole movement [of the electronically adjusted computer table] is quick and quiet."

-- Alan Hedge, professor of design and environmental analysis, discussing his research that found that people who could stand at their computers several hours a day had much less discomfort than other workers, on Reuters Health news wire carried by ABC News, Oct. 20.
