My name is Paul Stillman, and this is my blog. This goal of this blog is to provide deep dives on issues of data, statistics, computational modeling, and whatever else I feel like writing about. My general approach for writing a post is either something I would have liked to have had 5 years ago, or something I feel like learning. Any errors, questions, or suggestions for future posts can be emailed to me at paul.e.stillman\@gmail.com or paul.stillman\@yale.edu.

# About the Author

I am currently a post-doc in Marketing at the Yale School of Management. I received my PhD in social psychology from Ohio State University and my BA in psychology from Cornell University. My research takes a computational approach to understanding how individuals navigate conflicting motivations. Using dynamic measures of behavior (e.g., mouse-tracking), real choices (e.g., field and lab experiments), and neuroscience methods, my work aims to build a unified understanding of how individuals manage and prioritize the complex array of goals towards which they strive. Ultimately, I hope to empower individuals to make decisions that will allow them to reach their long-term goals efficiently and sustainably.
