Dr. Matt Normand
Welcome to the Skinner Box. I am a professor of psychology at the University of the Pacific. I am a behavioral psychologist, by training and trade, and I think B. F. Skinner is one of the most important dead white males of all time. You can use the icons in the menu above to track me down on social media, if that's your thing.
