Snacks = bad

April 19, 2007

I can never control my snacking. It’s pretty much all-or-nothing for me when it comes to food, so if I have a big bag of Tostitos and a jar of salsa, or a carton of ice cream, I can and will go overboard. Like last night. And again tonight. Also my initial bout of studiousness from last week has pretty much disappeared. Was that really me?

Anyway, I’m currently looking for a lab to work in. A few professors’ work seem interesting, although I’ll have to do more training for some than for others. Is it worth it to train in something I haven’t tried before? What if I find I don’t like it?

Speaking of labs, here is an interesting case study written up by some of our neuroscience faculty.

Two years later, and again without forewarning, we asked AJ to write down the dates for Easter and notations of personal events. Again in less than ten minutes, she produced another table, this time with every Easter date correct and with similar notations about personal events. After she had completed the second table, she was shown the one she had done two years before. She immediately pointed out the one incorrect date from two years before (April 17, 1987 should be April 19, 1987). We reviewed the notations to compare and there was perfect reliability.
