The Homunculus

steveSteve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

The Nov 26 1880 article seem to be a review of another article. Does it say on a previous page what publication it is referencing?
Thanks for the Blog work.

You know Jim, I should have put the book it was talking about - but I actually don't have the rest of the article presently so you all might have to wait for more details. (If I forget remind me!)

thanks:)
