lisa I am a cognitive scientist, psychologist, and online learning specialist with an interest in taekwon-do, web stuff, cycling, indoor soccer and sundry other things. This is my blog home - it is pretty messy and disorganised, a bit like my real home. Since I don't write posts regularly, I have moved the posts to the sidebar under "Random Thoughts" and shifted my work-based stuff to the main home page.
