  mentoring_philosophy: 'My mentoring philosophy has four parts.  The first is that the best way to learn about something is to get involved in research on it.  The second is that I value your time and am invested in you getting the most out of the experience.  This means going beyond providing merely an opportunity to participate in the research project by making it possible for you to learn a method for doing science (meta-analysis) that could make you more a more valuable student for admission to a graduate or professional training program you might end up applying to.  The third is that I treat this as an apprenticeship that may help you determine whether this kind of research is something you might want to do more of in the future or not.  This requires giving you the opportunity to understand the larger context of the research we are doing.  The fourth and final part is that I appreciate the mentoring and opportunities faculty provided to my daughters, both of whom got their undergraduate degrees from FSU.  I can help pay this back by providing that for other students.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'If you read about an important scientific breakthrough that makes the news, chances are it resulted either from a meta-analysis of the literature or from a very large-scale study.  The reason is that the results of individual small-scale studies may not replicate or generalize.  Meta-analysis is the quantitative combination of a set of studies on a topic.  It is used in almost every area of science and medicine.  Our research project involves carrying out several meta-analyses on topics related to dyslexia and to specific reading comprehension difficulty.  Dyslexia refers to difficulty reading words fluently.  Specific reading comprehension difficulty refers to difficulty understanding what is read despite being able to read the words.  Our research project is part of FSU’s NIH Multidisciplinary Learning Disabilities Research Center.  It is one of only two Centers funded by NIH to study learning disabilities in the country.  You will have the opportunity to learn the basics of how meta-analysis is done, including getting hands-on experience by participating as a research assistant on one or more meta-analyses.  Depending on your interest and involvement, there may be an opportunity to be a co-author on a manuscript submitted for publication.  Optionally, you may participate in meetings and other activities carried out as part of the NIH Center.      '
  please_add_any_additional_information_here: 'The project work you will be doing is hybrid.  We will meet weekly on zoom or in person every couple of weeks.  Training will be  provided by me and my research assistant.  Any specific software, books, or other materials required to complete the project will be provided.  The best way to communicate is through email.  When I email you, please respond within 24 hours and I will do the same.'
