New Job

Hi all. After going on a couple more interviews I've decided to accept the job at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I will be joining their psychology faculty. I'm looking forward to starting this new part of my career in August. I'm particularly happy to be done with interviewing. I enjoyed visiting all the places I interviewed at but I have a dislike of travelling so often in a short period of time (mainly the fact that flying is very uncomfortable). Now I can focus more on studying for the psychology licensing exam which I plan to take soon and finishing some papers that need to be submitted for publication. Oh, and getting the house ready to sell. The fun never stops.

Portland, OR

I recently was at a conference in Portland, Oregon and had a chance to take a handful of pictures (not as many as I would have liked). You can see the pics at flickr.com here. Portland is a great city. I was able to met my friend from high school and college, Jen Conjerti. We hadn't talked or seen each other in over 10 years so it was great to met and catch-up. The conference was for the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco. I presented a poster which was well received. After I got back home from Portland I had a couple of days home then I traveled to Cleveland, OH for an interview at CSU. I've been travelling quite a bit lately. I have a job offer from RIT which is good news. Other than that I'm pretty busy with writing multiple manuscripts and studying for my licensure exam. Well enough for now.
