Notes Towards Day 9

I. Start by taking three surveys from The Paradox of Choice:
*are you a maximizer or a satisficer? (p.80)
*the regret scale (p.87)
*the subjective happiness scale (p. 196)
can we chart the correlations?

The Bryn Mawr Department of Biology and Bryn Mawr-Haverford Education Program, with support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, seek a Postdoctoral Fellow in Science Education to pursue and collaborate on innovative pedagogical approaches, research, and projects focused on science in a college liberal arts context and the preparation of precollege teachers. The Fellow will be responsible for teaching one course per semester, working with faculty mentors in Biology and Education, as well as pursuing research in a field of science education. Opportunities to participation in the College's Teaching and Learning Initiative and K-12 outreach programs are available. The initial appointment is for one year and with an option for a second year.

II. (nonsensical-to-me) observation
from one of y'day's conferences:
"I don't know how I'm doing..."
(reminiscent of the joke re:
two object-relations psychologists, making love:
"How was it for me?")
