Grad (Ph.D.) student in social sciences. Here you’ll find quotes, snarky comments, and deep thoughts. I also tend to be obsessed with/post stuff about these things too: football and sports in general, parodies and satire, grad school, my fabulous dog, infographics and visual data, being a twentysomething, psychology news, the South, gender issues, “30 Rock” and “It’s Always Sunny.” In general, if you follow me, I’ll follow you. I figure that if you like what you see enough to follow, we must have something in common… This is my main tumblelog, but I also run these, so check ‘em out if you want: The Crafty Scientist Blog The Crafty Scientist on Tumblr Fuck Yeah, Visual Data Psych at Work (the new Applied Psych) 20Something Rock Tumblelog 20Something Rock Blog Psychology Applied to Life (old Psych blog) Really Asshat?

But I’m currently doing research on college student retention with a focus on dispositional resilience and stress tolerance (so predicting who will stay in school and do well v. those who won’t). I’m also working on models of resilience and stress tolerance - very statistical things using military and international samples. Enough of a mouthful there? Haha… if you have any other questions or want to more, please just ask! It might take a while, but I LOVE to talk about this stuff! :o)</p>http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/3076697074http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/3076697074Wed, 02 Feb 2011 19:09:15 -0500<a href="http://www.google.com/reader/bundle/user%2F14083533044844951118%2Fbundle%2F%5BFave%20Crafty%20Blogs%5D">[Fave Crafty Blogs]</a>: <p><h2>[Fave Crafty Blogs]</h2> <ul><li>A Little Hut - Patricia Zapata</li> <li>Ashley Ann Photography</li> <li>Gluesticks</li> <li>Craft Snob</li> <li>Craftaholics Anonymous</li> <li>Eye Spy DIY!</li> <li>So You Think You’re Crafty</li> <li>The Crafting Chicks</li> <li>Ali…</li></ul></p>http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2998607020http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2998607020Sat, 29 Jan 2011 15:38:34 -0500<a href="http://www.elliott.org/blog/southwest-airlines-pilot-holds-plane-for-murder-victims-family/">Southwest Airlines pilot holds plane for murder victim’s family</a>: <p>Wow.</p>http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2687200080http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2687200080Mon, 10 Jan 2011 15:00:56 -0500Southwestrandom acts of kindnesscompassionmurder victim's familyhope<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leseh9aPrm1qzmbuyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://imgur.com/ITTze">Grad School - Imgur</a></p>http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2678485716http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2678485716Sun, 09 Jan 2011 22:17:33 -0500grad schoolfunny stuffgrad school humor<a href="http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/04/human-factor-faces-never-familiar-to-famed-doctor/?iref=obinsite">Human Factor: Faces never familiar to famed doctor – The Chart - CNN.com Blogs</a>http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2611485004http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2611485004Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:21:06 -0500prosopagnosiafacesovercome hardshipface blindnesshealthdoctorCNN<a href="http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/04/human-factor-faces-never-familiar-to-famed-doctor/?iref=obinsite">Human Factor: Faces never familiar to famed doctor – The Chart - CNN.com Blogs</a>http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2614472412http://meldoesgradschool.tumblr.com/post/2614472412Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:21:06 -0500prosopagnosiafacesovercome hardshipface blindnesshealthdoctorCNN<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lekcljc4wu1qzmbuyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://sisarina.com/posts/be-sincere-be-welcoming">Be Sincere.
