Maritsa Chew, ’86
If you think pet supplies are a bare-bones business you haven’t
been introduced to “Yappy Hours,” Chihuahua trunk shows
and custom-made designer dog tags.
Last year, consumers spent more than $34 billion on pet-related
merchandise, double
what they spent a decade ago and UCSD alums Janet McCulley and
Maritsa Chew are riding high on this wave of puppy love. MORE

ANCEL
KEYS
1904
- 2004
The UCSD Alumni Association is saddened to announce the death
of Ancel Keys, SIO, Ph.D. ’30. The Minnesota physiologist who put
saturated fat on the map as a major cause of heart disease and was
the first scientist to champion the health value of a Mediterranean-style diet,
died on Saturday, November 20 in Minneapolis. He was 100.
SIO and the Association only recently became acquainted
with Keys, the oldest living graduate of UCSD at that time, when he was recognized
for Professional
Achievement at the 27th Awards for Excellence Gala in October.
He was the founder of what became a world-famous research facility, the Laboratory
of Physiological Hygiene at the University of Minnesota School of Public
Health, and he was its director for 33 years.
Keys is survived by his wife, Margaret; a daughter, Carrie D’Andrea,
Ph.D. and a son, Henry Keys, M.D.
