IRB process --Acronym for Irritating Reseach Bumps (or Bruises)??

Well, this week has been a good learning experience regarding all the "hoops" to be jumped through for the IRB application approval.  Whew!  I appreciate, though, that the university takes this process so seriously and I am assured that whatever research is being done will be done with the utmost safety and concern for those involved in the experiments or observation. 

Also made some headway on my first paper--the one analyzing an article.  I hope to finish it later today after reviewing Dr. Howard's suggested website.
