My Christmas present--an IRB approval!

Wow. If anyone wonders, UNC has an amazing IRB process. Lawrence (just a first name, in case he wants to be anonymous) is the man who has overseen several of my IRB submissions and he is always so thorough in his review and helpful in making important corrections. I feel very confident that my dissertation research has been thoroughly reviewed and is completely safe for anyone that participates in my research.

Even though I've done several studies so far in my graduate program, this dissertation proposal was by far the most challenging review to get through.

Now, I'm ready to start my dissertation research! Merry Christmas to me!
