I'm also a long distance student. I'm at Harvard School of Public Health, Department of Society, Human Development and Health. My research interests are health policy for the elderly, health inequality (social epidemiology). I think we can co-work by e-mail. I'd like to focus on trend in health behaviors and Socioeconomic Class Disparities. International comparison study might be possible for the same subject. What do you think about my subject? Do you have any other plan? please let me know your idea. Sincerely, Soong-Nang Jang I am a long-distance student looking for a potential co-author. I understand that long-distance co-authorships may be difficult, but I am very excited about doing this replication project. I'm hoping to find someone in this course who is either living in Southern California or is willing to expend the extra effort to work with a partner on a long-distance basis. Obviously this would be pending approval from the instructors. Relevant information about me: I'm a first-year MA student in political science at San Diego State University, preparing to enter a PhD program. I am also doing a large chunk of my classwork at UCSD. My research interests are comparative politics, political economy, and political institutions, but I can learn to be interested in anything. I have a substantial background in statistics, matrix algebra, and some calculus. I have not used R before this class, but I am proficient with most other commonly used packages and I'm working overtime to learn R. I work hard and I've never murdered a co-author.
