Ph.D. student in Industrial-Organizational Psychology with a concentration in Occupational Health Psychology.

This tumblelog focuses on Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Organizational Psychology (a combination of psychology of the workplace, human resources, and applied statistics with some business). Throw in Occupational Health Psychology, Work and Stress, Social Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Motivation and Emotion, and even the occasional Clinical Psychology thoughts and topics and this is the result.

I try to find articles from the professional journals, blogs, popular news, and anywhere else that strikes my fancy...

I'm now starting to blog here - the name matches my main blog name/URL a bit better...Psych at Work (the new Applied Psych)

harvestheart: Image via Wikipedia Story of Phineas Gage - HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHY - Estimated Date 1855 A daguerreotype image believed to be of railway worker Phineas Gage holding a tamping iron that went through his head during an explosion on a worksite in 1848. Phineas P. Gage (July 9?, 1823 – May 21, 1860)was a railroad construction foreman now remembered for his incredible survival of an accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying one or both of his brain’s frontal lobes, and for that injury’s reported effects on his personality and behavior—effects so profound that friends saw him as “no longer Gage.” Gage recovered from the accident and retained full possession of his reason, but his wife and other people close to him soon began to notice dramatic changes in his personality. Phineas Gage’s brain was not subjected to any medical examination at that time, but seven years later his body was exhumed so his skull could be studied. Today Gage’s skull is on permanent display at Harvard’s Countway Library of Medicine. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/07/22/science/wilgus_gage_hs.jpg
