Hi all! I'm a Phd Candidate in anthropology, studying the physical effects of stress in childhood and stress involved in living as a recent immigrant in the US.
I'm also a cellist and a (bad) gardener. I use R for my statistical and graphic purposes.
Je parle français et/y hablo español
Nice to meet you all!
@eholdsie welcome! Mastodon isn’t quite like any other social network I’ve been on, but it’s a cheery place, mostly. I’m glad you’re here. I highly recommend searching for hashtags for the topics that interest you, like #anthropology or #cello or #gardening (maybe #gardens). It’s often a good way to find people. You can even pin a hashtag to a column of its own if you like.
Tea? 
(that’s a custom emoji on my instance; don’t worry if you can’t find it on your keyboard.)
@eholdsie de rien! (My French is very rusty, but I actually speak some, unlike Spanish.)
@gannet ¡gracias! Will do - this has been a lovely experience so far, thanks for the recommendations!
