This last day has been really eventful. I was able to get an IRB approval for my experiment. This means I can test subjects, human subjects according to the procedures described in my form. The process was a little dull and particularly esoteric. The IRB folks although, were a really nice bunch. They managed to give me clear instructions about reviews and documents needed. Despite that, I found it a little hard to understand what they wanted.
It is surprising to me, that if you know the process really well it becomes harder for you to give out all the details. I really saw this with my data analysis. My adviser says, "I can't read your mind, what do these plots tell me." The odd thing is that we generally discuss my work in great detail. So, I learnt that I need to invest my time on more pedagogical tools to make my mind more readable. (where are those beautiful elvish women when you need them)
