Hi All,

I talked to Terry and did some furious calculating.......and found out we only actually *need* 25 men in each group for our pilot study if we still believe that there will be a 1/3 improvement.  However, I propose, we start with 50 participants in each group.  For our paper we can cite the following reasons 1) this allows room for attrition in the groups which would be the case in a real study and 2) this allows for significant margin of error in case we do not see a 1/3 improvement, we may still be able to find a (smaller) statistically significant improvement.

Now that I've gotten reacquainted with our good friend Bernard Rosner... I'd be happy to do some more of the number crunching for the paper.  I remember Erin saying that she could then take the numbers and make graphs? 

Let's check in soon about all of this.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend class tonight.....  But, I'm happy to check in via email.  Also, I understand today is the last day of research methodology?  Can we meet before class next week to continue moving forward on this project?

Best,

Sarah

Thanks, Mickey, for scanning this in.  I'd like to go talk to her about this.... would anyone want to come with me?  If so, I think we should make an appointment to see her at a time that is convenient for us. 

Thanks,
Sarah

After getting the message from Jessica that she is going to be out of the country soon. I say If we can set up a meeting with her on Wednesday before she leaves, say when we are going to meet up and work might be a good idea if we need to talk to her.

[Justin Davis]

[Erin Littmann]

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Hi All,

Do you guys want to meet at 3:40 over at Wilderman 1st floor (in the lounge area) just so we can chat for a few minutes about what we will talk to Ms. Smith about?

I'll plan on being there then; hopefully some of you can be there too.  :-)

Best,

Sarah

[Mickey Lui]

Depending on traffic on the way up it might be possible.

[Mickey Lui]

Since I missed the meeting due to traffic are there any updates I should know about also, I going to make a round in the library in case any of you all decided to work in the project there. Let me know if you guys are somewhere else.

i posted the inclusion exclusion criteria on the google doc.  the information that i posted was (at least mostly) based on journal articles which i found.  it should be enough for sarah to begin work on the study analysis portion.

cheers,
