Well for starters,welcome to the WAB,nice job on filling out your profile.If you would,tell us a little about yourself.Aside from that,roam freely through the forums and look for subject matter that interests you.Be aware,there are subject matter experts on a variety of subjects but your best bet is to search old threads before creating a new one in case the subject matter has already been covered.Explore,comment...have fun.

Actually, I've carried out a bit of research in a defence: investigated ways of improving situation awareness/decision-making performance in command and control environments...so I kind of fit in.

Welcome renee. I see you are a medical student and note your interests. They could go together if you joined the services and became a 'SAM' - Specialist in Aviation Medicine.

Welcome.

Would love to hear your views on that so as to hone up on the latest.
