Research Opportunities

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Aloha all:

I have posted information about one of the studies I’m undertaking this semester in the “Participate in a Study“ page; it will also soon be posted at the UHH psychology HSP page.

All are welcome to participate, and if you’re interested, I encourage you to contact me so I can let you know the specific time and place. After spending too long away from experimental research, I am very happy to again contribute to the body of scientific knowledge in this way…

I will post information on an additional study (to begin soon after Spring Break) within a few days…

Excitement!
