I’m in Ottawa Airport, waiting for my flight to Newark->Milano.
I’m experiencing some wireless network drops… Worst case, I’ll post this (and others) when in Newark or at home.
I’m leaving Canada, after two months of rainy days, good people, research and walk.
I had the opportunity to learn how a good researcher (chiarman, speaker, teacher…. ) works, interacts and shares ideas. I saw how being open to other’s ideas could help you find something new. I’ve met people that love our job, being able to criticize without underrating other’s idea, opinions and interests.
On a more pragmatical front, I’ve started my study on Social Presence in VE, formalized it for the ethic comitee (and that’s something I haven’t done before). We developed (right: Manon developed) a survey on TAM (Technology Acceptance Model): if you are a psychologist, please take 5 minutes to compile it. I’m on the right lane to conclude my presence literature review, and some new articles Stéphane gave me helped to fill some holes on theories’ review.
I’ll miss Ottawa, Gatineau and all this place.
But I’m on my way back to my beloved, my family, my friends and my pizzas, too!
Thanks to (in random order): Stéphane, Geneviève, Serge, Manon, Christian, Melanie, Micheline, Stéphanie, Jerome, Martin, Jessica, the CyberLab staff, the Ottawa Starbuck crew, Christine… and all wonderful people I’ve met
