Keith D. Amparado Communications Company Executive New York, NY https://youtu.be/DUdtZkxl3Lk What are two key behaviors/personality traits that allow you to be effective in your role? I never expect to know everything, so I try to assemble groups of people who have knowledge in various areas so that whatever we produce has the benefits of combined knowledge. I always make sure to consult with others. How do you feel your industry has changed/evolved? Education and the way in which we deliver it has changed drastically over the years. It’s harder for students especially when they reach high school and they start thinking about what they would like to do because generally speaking, we don’t provide counseling that helps them to make those kinds of important decisions. So, they enter college and pick a major because it’s something they like or is something they’re good at, but they haven’t really had an opportunity to discuss the field with someone knowledgeable. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? The important thing for me is getting people educated to the point where they have a bachelor’s degree because if they don’t, they will never really be competitive in today’s world. It’s a societal problem. When I got out of high school if you didn’t have money, you went to a city college because the tuition was quite reasonable and you could take a loan. Now, that is still possible, but it’s not nearly as easy as it once was. We do have a lot of special programs, but that information is not always available or made public, so a lot of students lose out. Herbert Barry III, PhD Psychologist Pittsburgh, PA www.marquismillennium.com/barry What are two key behaviors/personality traits that allow you to be effective in your role? In my early childhood, I did a lot of reading and I collected political cartoons from 1939 to 1945. So, I was very interested in politics and world affairs. Some of my articles are about past presidents of the United States. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? The most difficult challenge in the last five or 10 years has been publishing articles. Instead of submitting a manuscript and a letter to the editor-and-chief, I’ve been confronted with ornamented requirements, and doing it on the internet has been very difficult. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? Financing articles in scientific journals has been a change. There is an effort to charge an office a specific fee, for example, $1,000 to make a published article open access. People can then reproduce the article using email or the internet without any cost; however, there seems to be a fairly heavy cost to the office if it elects to make an article open access. What excites you the most about your industry? It’s so broad and general. Quite a lot of my research was on laboratory animals instead of humans. In fact, I did very little research on individuals, but I did conduct extensive research on personal names and considered the differences between the names given to boys and the names given to girls. 4 Marquis Who’s Who Insight | Fourth Edition
