Fun with IRB

IRB is how a school regulates human subjects research. They have to approve of any and everything I do for this study... Basically alongside of my committee, they own me until I finish this degree.

I drove over an hour to Albany yesterday for what wound up being a 10 minute meeting. A very informative and helpful meeting, but two hours in the car for 10 mins of meeting and some fantastic sushi. I ran into Seema her husband and new baby out to lunch. So good to see them and be able to chat about life and grad work.

The good news: my advisor thinks my methodology is in good shape and ready for my committee as soon as I finish redoing my chapter 1 and 2.

The to do list:

Chapters 1 and 2 edits/ rewrites

IRB forms

Garden

Clean the house.

Busy afternoon. ;)
