CHOP-ick. Associate Professor of Social/Personality Psychology at Michigan State University My opinions do not reflect the views and opinions of my employer.
East Lansing, MI

Recently, a date said they were an INTJ (i.e., Myers Briggs). I told her, “I'm a PhD in psychology. I refuse to entertain some unscientific typology of personality with dubious scientific backing.” I took pride in expressing my needs. As a Pisces, I really struggle with that.

A not-so-gentle reminder that olfactory memories are some of our most vivid because the sense of smell connects directly with the brain’s memory and emotion centers. It is unique in this respect - other senses are mediated on their way to the limbic system.
This grandfather is 84 and has Alzheimer's. He doesn't remember the names of his grandchildren but he STILL remembers the "Stinky kid" from boot camp 65 years ago 😂😂

My buddy lost his job to AI. It was his job to chug thousands of gallons of water at a data center

Before criticizing a city, it's important to give it a chance: immerse yourself in its culture, meet its people, try its food, take part in its long-storied traditions. Anyway, that's why I'm at this Taco Bell underneath an overpass in Lansing, MI

I used to drink tons of Diet Coke but it’s been one month since I’ve had a drop. I want to share some of the changes I’ve observed in myself over that time: - My health is unchanged - I’m less happy - My one source of joy is gone Thanks for encouraging me on this journey!

This is so devastating and effective. It feels like using napalm on an ant hill. The game is forever changed.

I've started the habit of drinking out of this glass beaker during meetings with students. Every couple of minutes, I make my eye twitch and cough VERY violently.

There's been a university truck parked in our lot for nearly *four* years--unmoved and untouched. I've started putting fake "parking tickets" on their windshield every time I walk by. Folks...I don't think they're gonna notice anytime soon.

CRL Lab is at Fenway! Funny thing: every professor is given free tickets behind home plate. But they never use it on their students for some reason. You should ask your advisor why they don't like you as much as I like my lab.

Rental car companies seem so insanely helpless at their one job. You show up at the airport, reservation in hand, and they’re like “wait really? You wanted a car? Sorry, you totally caught me off guard.”

In 2020, I had just joined McDonald's US and I approved a tweet saying "we have a joke about our soft serve machine but we're worried it won't work". The minute we posted, I got 80 emails saying our X account must have been hacked. I was convinced it was the end of my career.
