Ha, I laughed at the cheers thing too. As someone in academia, I can tell you signing emails with "Cheers" is very, very common. My advisor along with other faculty members in my department all sign their emails with cheers. Given that he was in academia as well, it's not that weird.

Ok, so that could have been part of it, but I'm saying his experience during that first year of graduate school could also be a part of it. Many people go into it thinking it's what they want, and then realize that it's not. Perhaps the pressure and work load was too much for him. And in his...

Possibly, but do we know where he was in the program when he dropped out? It sounded like he just recently started so I don't think he would be at the point of looking for jobs yet. You can't do much with a B.S. in Psych if you want a career in Psych. I always spend an entire class discussing...

In my doctoral program in psychology, you are required to earn a Master's degree. It's just a part of the program. You get your Master's and then move onto your dissertation, but you don't have to re-apply, you are already in the program. The end goal is your Ph.D.. Now some people may obtain a...

Are we still on this? lol I said it earlier, but I will say it again. Everything Elmomom said above is true. I'm getting my Ph.D. in Psych and I pay no tuition and get a small stipend. So, yes, if you are a doctoral student in the sciences and attend a university that does a lot of research...

Well, I know two people who recently graduated from the neuroscience program at my university and are now both faculty members at his school and they actually knew who he was. Anyway, I believe it works the same way there.

Ha, well, we may not have to pay tuition, but it's very difficult to get accepted into these programs. You can't just have a good GPA and GRE and get in. And believe me when I say, although I don't have to pay tuition, this has been the longest, most physically and emotionally exhausting 6 years...

No, it's not a scholarship. And yes, every single Ph.D. student in our department has their tuition paid. The department may help pay for some students, but most people get paid from their advisor's grant money. When you write a grant to do your research, you include the cost for graduate...

I just posted above, but I am getting my Ph.D. in Psychology and our tuition is paid. It's not a scholarship, it's just how it works. And this is true for all areas of Psychology whether you are in clinical, social, neuroscience, developmental, or cognitive.

That is correct. I am about to finish my Ph.D. in Psychology. My tuition is paid and I receive a small salary. I do have to pay for student health insurance and fees related to the tuition. I get more than the average graduate student, but it's still not enough to live off so I have had to take...

According to this tweet of a picture of a receipt, he ordered it online. The pic says it's from CNN. https://twitter.com/RobertDEdwards/status/226514713566126081/photo/1/large

I really respect this jury. It's clear that they really went over each count carefully.

Justice has been served!!!!

I agree. My cousin goes to Penn State and I have been following his and his friends tweets. They all seem to think he is guilty and that justice needs to be served. As I said last night, their outrage seemed to just be over Paterno being fired. *Crossing my fingers*

I agree. I find it somewhat comforting that he says multiple people were in the wrong here. He says even Paterno made a mistake. My cousin just finished his first year at Penn State and it seems to me that even students know Sandusky is guilty. The outrage was more about Paterno being fired. It...

I've been out of the loop the last few days, but what is interesting is you mentioned Isis and that map says Ming Wu. If you look at his videos on YouTube, many of them are about Isis.

I'm wondering if he is not yet fully aware of what they have against him. If so, he might be holding off so that he can bargain. I do also think its possible that he knows Sierra is well-hidden and they will never find her and thinks that without a body, they can't convict him. I think this...

I understand what you are saying, but I think we are just trying to figure out if they knew each other in any way beforehand. Or if he was stalking her. This doesn't prove her murdered her or how he murdered her, which is obviously the most important question here, but I would imagine when a...

Yes, she said you must feel lucky, but the word 'lucky' was not emphasized in any way so not sure if there is a connection there. One thing I also noticed is the times she wrote the tweets. I am assuming that the time it shows me is in my timezone (which is EST) so I am guessing the actual...

This makes complete sense. I was one of the people who commented that it's dangerous to be out in the middle of the night. And it was for the same reason you state above. It shouldn't be dangerous to ride your bike at night, but the fact remains that it is dangerous. Doing anything alone late at...
