This user is experiencing increased intrusion from the [[fun:real world | real world]] due primarily to school and what his university calls "work" (salt-mining might be a better euphemism). Please use the handy indicator strip above to assess whether it is worth contacting him here. The degree to which he will be on RationalWiki is inversely correlated with the number of colored squares. As always he is easily contacted through e-mail at anytime:

My name is Trent, I edit over at wikipedia as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tmtoulouse tmtoulouse] and I edited over at conservapedia as [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:Tmtoulouse tmtoulouse] as well.

==Basics about me==
 
−
 
 
−
I am a doctoral candidate in Psychology with particular interests in neuroscience, neural modeling, and brain imaging. I have undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Biology and an intense interest in the overlap of [[User:Human|human]] behavior and evolution. I have also done work with self-organizing systems and complexity theory. Most of my contributions will probably be focused along topics that touch most closely with these issues.

==My role at Rationalwiki==

−
I am an editor here just like everyone else and that is my primary role. However, due to my arcane and [[magic |magical]] powers I can alter things on the site server. That means I can install wanted extensions, do some bug checking, and other random such things. I am also pretty handy with programming, which means I can "create" functions and extensions people think are a good idea but don't exist. I can also create "wiki bots" that do mundane tasks normal people shouldn't have to.

If there is an extension you wish to see installed, or some other change made to the mediawiki software you can let me know on my [[User talk:Tmtoulouse | talk]] page or e-mail me.

Please honor their request. (Inquiries here)

Owing to a recent broader understanding of the nature of the Universe and the Biblical world view I have decided that I must now leave in order to grow my new found spirituality.
