I am a Moderator Pro Tempore for this site. That means I do things like handling flags, approving/rejecting edits, and generally help the community in any way I can. I'm here to help! If you have a question, I try to stay in our chat room almost all the time, even if I'm not at my computer. To get my attention, just post a message in chat with @Josh in it, and I'll respond as soon as I can.

I can also be reached from my website or via email at cogsci -at- josh -dot- gitlin -dot- name. If you have an any issues please don't hesitate to contact me.

I am not actually a Cognitive Scientist. I am Chief Technology Officer and the senior software developer at Digital Fruition, LLC. I am an avid user of Stack Exchange sites and fascinated by the workings of the mysterious and complex computer we call the human mind.

I believe firmly in this community and try to do do everything I can to help it grow! I am frequently on Meta where we discuss issues about this site. I'm very approachable. If you have a question or an issue, find me in chat or @ me on one of my posts. While I may not be the most knowledgable user about Cognitive Sciences on our site, I know a lot about Stack Exchange!

May 13	comment	Math or Physics: Which is the more relevant background to enter Cognitive Sciences and Psychology? @ArtemKaznatcheev my objection to this question was not it's being on/off topic but rather it's objectivity. I am glad to reopen it if the community welcomes such questions; without an established policy on Meta the policy of Stack Exchange is that subjective questions ("which is better?") get closed as NC. Please do make a case on Meta so we can establish what our specific policy is. For example, Ask Different allows some questions like this. Thanks!
