Save the Whales, Etc.

Mystery Hunt is over. On Sunday, I journeyed to the land of Pika to seek shelter there, then on Monday I moved in with relatives (Aaron and Marsha and Ben).

I now have employment, canvassing for Greenpeace (6 hrs/day on weekdays, I start on Friday after a volunteer day at the office on Thursday). It's cold outside, but work is work.

I made a profit today, too, playing a computerized game for a research study at Harvard. Not a lot of money, but the pay/work ratio is extremely high. Participating in some research at MIT tomorrow will pay for my lunch.

but you see, Psych 001 is a class that roughly everone will take in the end. Most humanities must take the intro class, and some chem, bio, and eng majors take it for general ed.

With 3-4 sections of 300-500 students a quarter each taking part in 3-5 experiments a quarter, you can do the math on the diversity and sample size.
