Done

Administrivia

• Talked to Ivy and Tricia to get the ball rolling for me to use the TEM system, so I can set up a program advance and make everybody happy. It will take 2-3 business days for me to have access.
• Completed and printed out the materials requested by the IRB. These are ready for BDE's signature and submission.
• Overhauled my resume until it almost looks like a CV.
• Completed and submitted application for Chancellor's Graduate Research Award. All letters of support from faculty (BDE, SJ, IB) are in Santhi's capable hands.
• Applied for a $3000 Qualtrics Behavioral Research Award.
• Submitted letter of interest for a $10000 Grammy Foundation Grant.

Data Collection

• Inspired by the Grammy Foundation's concern for the "health and occupational well being of musicians" and the generally deep pockets for biomedical research, developed questions on posture and pain/discomfort and added them to part 2 of the survey.
