So many good things are happening for my research projects today!
I can finally complete and finalize my research poster for ABCT this weekend. I found a way to get it printed for free thanks to my super awesome boyfriend, and SHE EMAILED ME BACK!
I have the hugest research crush on Dr. Nolen-Hoeksema, who does research on rumination and other cognitive processes and their relationship to depression. I have a binder on my bookshelf dedicated to articles with her name on it. So lo and behold, while preparing the materials for my honours project (on rumination, of course), I had the opportunity to email her for rumination inductions! I waited for a week and she still hasn't replied, so I decided to email her again to follow up and within an hour her name popped up in my email! I'm so excited for so many different reasons:
1. She emailed me back so quickly.
2. I just need to put in the rumination instructions into Remark and my study materials are practically complete.
3. Applying for ethics is just right around the corner.
That will be two major milestones for my academic career! Definitely an auspicious day for research =)
