And about the dissertation …

• Now watching my launched dissertation survey with utter fascination. #
• In your experience, what do typical response rates look like in a time series? What % of respondents participate in the first 24 hours? #
• Okay … now, assume I hate to code (I think we’ve already established that). What statistical package would I like best? #
• The only lobbying I’ve heard for a statistical package that’s easy to use (and involves little coding) is SPSS. Any others? #
• #drpt (hr 364) First 24 hours of data response on dissertation survey looks VERY promising … provided the response rate delivers! #
• Statistics folks: On a 5 point scale, is there a convention for which gets the highest agreement or rating, 1 or 5? #

• Asperger Syndrome … little patience for small talk, extremely passionate about a narrow range of topics, not good at reading social cues #
• People with Asperger often misinterpret social interaction. Have difficulty comprehending what they read (hard to see forest through trees). #
• Everyone at this conference is wearing business attire … glad I did not bring the magic boots … today? Traditional black heels. #
• The hotel here has me listed as Dr. Maria Andersen … not correct yet … but somewhat inspirational. Planning how to graduate by August. #
