Yeah - it's been fun! I think you should chase up that course too!!

I used to avoid this kind of psychology like the plague - I liked sticky bits of brain function and behaviourism - I worked for 3 years in Apllied Behavioural Analysis with autistic kids. The funny thing is to push myself right outside my own box is what's attracting me right now.

I don't have such a huge definition between hard and soft science - the whole thing to me is a huge debate conducted on reasoning and the best available knowledge. I used to think physics was about as hard as it gets but after a while you find it has a squishy centre too...

My love of science is because it is a debate and anyone gets invited to join, as the game raises so the effort it takes to play a part goes up - but from dinner time chat's to proffessor's publishing seminal papers anyone can take part.
