Ellen Paasch is originally from Elkhorn, Nebraska. She graduated with her BS in biological sciences from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in 2011. This spring, she graduated from the University of Iowa Master of Public Health program in the Department of Community and Behavioral Health. During the next few weeks she will be attending the International Association of Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) conference in Dublin, Ireland, to present the results of a study on Facebook Use and Disordered Eating among College Women.
Last night I met with my research colleague, Dr. Yusuf Kalyango, to discuss the presentation I will be giving on Thursday. I must admit, I'm quite nervous. He is so knowledgeable and relaxed, and I've found it very helpful to have his support in real life since we are finally in the same country. My presentation is completed, but I just keep rehearsing what I'm going to say. Though the session lasts 90 minutes, I will only be speaking for about 10 minutes. It's going to be a wonderful experience, or so I keep reminding myself. The conference commences today at 5:30pm, so I'm planning on exploring the city and immersing myself in Irish culture until then. Cheers!
