I'm technically in neuroscience, neuroinformatics more specifically, but was raised by a political theorist. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of writing code rather than prose, and don't keep a blog or similar, so the first thing that I could point you to would be my thesis, which is still months away.

Well, hurry up then :)

Seriously, this sounds like a very interesting subject. Best of luck with your thesis writing and submission (mine's still a couple of years away).

Post the thesis to HN when you're done, or PM me (my Gmail username is the same as my HN username) and I'll host it and post it. Better communication tools for statistics and technical subjects is seriously something that the HN community could use and promote.

I see parent has responded, but it could be "human factors" as well.
