Bio
I've just finished my BA(hons.)/BSc, with majors in genetics, psychology, and the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), and honours (i.e. a research year) in HPS. I wrote my honours thesis on how to analyse a medical trial in which some participants don't take their medicine. I'm also a research assistant to two psychologists who work on statistical cognition, and statistical practices in psychology. I sing in a sightreading choir every weekend.

Right now I'm taking a short holiday before I start applying for PhD places. Life is good!

I don't update this journal often. I friends-lock posts that contain anything even vaguely personal (i.e. most of them). I plan to post more academic material, but I may never get around to this. Email me if you'd like a copy of anything.

Why is my personal website a LiveJournal? Because I was seventeen once, and the internet never forgets.
