My Chat with Dr. Darren Dahl, Former Co-editor of the Journal of Consumer Research (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_274)

Topics that we covered include the importance of conducting meaningful research, viewing research as a form of play, the value of interdisciplinary science, several papers stemming from Darren's research career (food choices, contamination fears, speech characteristics, and condom use), the value of science outreach, political correctness on university campuses, and the pros and cons of being a professor. _______________________________________ This chat was originally posted on my YouTube channel on March 26, 2016 as THE SAAD TRUTH_149: https://youtu.be/ti_BRx8f2Fw.   At the time of the conversation, Darren was one of the co-editors of the Journal of Consumer Research.  _______________________________________ If you appreciate my work and would like to support it: https://subscribestar.com/the-saad-truth https://patreon.com/GadSaad https://paypal.me/GadSaad _______________________________________ The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense was released on October 6, 2020.
