Heading over to Psychology at Lincoln today to give a talk as part of their Visting Seminar Series. The topic is conspiracy beliefs and extremism, sprinkled with loneliness, economic inequality, and political ideology (including Dr Tanya Schrader's recently accepted GPIR paper!!).

You want a new, fun data set for teaching? Here you go. Someone recorded the average/max/change from baseline pulses of folks watching horror movies. They used this data to rate AND rank order the film. My RA added Rotten Tomato ratings and year of release. Analyze away!

I have come so far in life. High school me would never have believed that I would receive both the university and CLAS Scholars award!

Narcissistic individuals, especially those with severe traits, tend to see people in extreme ways – either putting them on a pedestal as perfect or dismissing them as worthless. This behavior, known as "splitting," is also found in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

I presented some of the preliminary findings of my thesis last weekend at SSSP in Memphis.

All of my grad applications are submitted. I feel relieved that they are done, but also I am second guessing the SOPs that I submitted. I guess I will just bounce in and out of an existential crisis until sometime in spring.
