About me
I am a college student majoring in Biology and minoring in Psychology; I also study Russian (and have done so for three years as of now), and am all but fluent in French. I love music (seriously); check out my Last.fm page, linked below, to see my listening habits – and feel free to add me as a friend. My interests include (amateur) digital photography, the webcomic Achewood, psychiatric genetics, and all things Russian.
Why I use Clipmarks
It is a handy way both to organize snippets of information, particularly those that I use in academic research, and to satisfy my slightly obsessive need for organization itself. The community is vibrant and delightful, too.

Genes Trigger Phobias in Kids & Teens
nohobot
by nohobot  4-7-2008   
 I met with Dr. Kendler when I was just a 10th grader in high school. I love finding major research results he has published, as our interests usually intersect (such as with psychiatric genetics in general, and schizophrenia and phobias in particular).

Drugs, Alcohol, & Despair: State Rankings
nohobot
by nohobot  3-6-2008   
 People in Utah are the least likely to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and smoke marijuana, but they have the highest rate of serious psychological distress. Could correlation indicate causation in this case?

Anti-Depressants "Of Little Use"
nohobot
by nohobot  2-26-2008   
 This doesn't really surprise me, since people with mild depression probably shouldn't be given drugs in the first place. It's a shame that so many psychiatrists have become revolving door prescription dispensers instead of knowledgeable therapists skilled in a number of treatment approaches.

Shrinking Telomeres Linked to Heart Disease

by nohobot  1-12-2007   
 Scientists already suspected that telomeres play a significant role in cancer, so it's exciting to see that said DNA strands are making headlines again in relation to another big killer in the West: heart disease.
