ShayLynne Clark, a soon-to-graduate Weber State University student, worked with the WSU Chamber Choir and a student dance teacher to collaborate on a performance called "Coil." The project was part of Clark's research on how groups come up with ideas. She found that groups with a leader who steps back when ideas are flowing come up with more creative ideas than groups with an overbearing leader or a leader who doesn't truly lead. "Coil" will be staged Thursday. (Contributed photo)

OGDEN — ShayLynne Clark plans to graduate from Weber State University in May and head to medical school this fall. And for her four years of hard work, she will take with her three bachelor’s degrees, in anthropology, microbiology and interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis on chemistry.

She’ll also take with her the strong belief, backed by her own research, that people who work together productively as a group can solve problems a lot more creatively than they could in groups with overbearing leaders.

(DAVID SPERRY/The Associated Press) A Libyan child waves the victory sign while wearing a wig and holding a pre-Gadhafi flag during a celebration after transitional government leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil declared the liberation of Libya in Benghazi Sunday, Oct. 23, 2011. Libya’s transitional leader declared his country’s liberation Sunday after an 8-month civil war and set out plans for the future with an Islamist tone. The announcement was clouded, however, by international pressure to explain how ousted dictator Moammar Gadhafi had been captured alive days earlier, then ended up dead from a gunshot to his head shortly afterward.
