Like I said, it could be a little while before we actually get to talk (ethics approval and all that).

Whee fun. What field are you in? And what approach are you taking to your research? *curious* (Of course, don't tell me if you need deception or whatever in your study design.)

They seem almost more excited by it than I do.

Your advisors are EXCITED by your thesis topic? Wow.

Would it be alright if I friended you?

Of course!
