General FAQs:

Who: Jennie.  I'm a research scientist with a penchant for cooking, puppies, & clean driving.  By day, I am an adjunct professor, behavioral endocrinology nerd, statistics geek, start up/tech enthusiastic, and social strategy consulting.  My PhD is in social psychology, and my research focus is on behavioral neuroendocrinology.  I study how behaviors can affect hormones and how hormones can affect behaviors in humans.  I've been called the Jane Goodall of behaviorists.  I'll leave that open to interpretation. By night, I've been a hobby collector. 

MisoHungry focuses on cooking with craft beer, fine wine, and artisan spirits, and it also covers Austin area food events, food trends, and thoughts on social media.  RomanReign.com and Keep Austin Dog Friendly is a resource for places for your puppy to socialize with bent on canine sports.  Canine Drafting covers basics about drafting with your dog, or goat, or pony.  Chenergy Consulting and Dr. Oxytocin are both blogs on social behavior, relationship research, and social media.  Thirsty Bird Threads is a line of clothing for women in craft beer, fine wine, and artisan spirits.  Proceeds go to the Texas Craft Brewer's Guild.

Why a Swissy? I love large breed dogs and especially like to work.  So it was natural that I fell love with the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Grosser Schweizer Sennenhund). But the Löwchens?  I first met Pistol Pete (owned by Barbara Cecil), and just had to have one.  They have the personality in of a big dog in a little dog body.  The only difference between Basil and Mouse is about 120 lbs and some hair.   

Why the name Roman Reign? The historians of Swissies claims that they were developed from Roman War dogs (Mollasian).  These dogs eventually developed into the large European breeds including mastiffs, rotties, and bernards.  I chose a  name that goes back to the roots of the breed and also reflects the breed's function and temperament - bold and powerful.   Even though the website has morphed into a more inclusive site, I decided to keep the name Roman Reign.

Where: Deep in the Heart of Texas.

What are your articles based on?:  I'm formally trained in social psychology with a research interest in behavioral neuroendocrinology in topics ranging from human social phenomenon, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning.  I've taught many psychology courses at major universities (since 2002), and have a background in biobehavioral research as well as training in behavioral genetics.  My other research areas and interests are marketing and management (applied social psychology), attitudes and behavior change (particularly towards public policy), hierarchical linear modeling (and quadratic modeling), mating strategies, intimate relationships, health psychology, group dynamics, message framing, and social dominance behaviors.
