The Centre for the Study of Long Distance Relationships

[Silviar]

Yeah that's what I found too, the doctor in California. I'm sure his credentials are real, but I still think that he probably founded the center in order to support his research and book, and given how funding has gone the last few years (I did research as an undergrad and I was privy to all of these talks)...yeah. He probably also felt his time was more suited to medical practice, as it's a slightly steadier income source than research.

Especially ER medicine. He's easily pulling $200k a year in ER medicine.

Haha, it was probably just someone that used the name of a real doctor so that it would look legitimate. That doctor may actually have nothing to do with "The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships" at all.

You don't go from studying LDRs to ER medicine.

Maybe we should set up a study - we must have enough background information and people willing to participate on this website!

I do almost have my PhD in interpersonal communication (with a focus on intercultural communication)... :P

It has me almost curious enough to email him and ask, because I'm that curious... XD

Haha! I love how this has turned into a sort of treasure hunt
