A conversation w/ @mcxfrank & @glupyan.
Questions swirl about what AI will mean for work, education, and society. But cognitive scientists can't help but also wonder: What will AI mean for our understanding of the mind?

I was absolutely thrilled to chat with Kensy about metaphor for one of my favorite podcasts. Check it out!
New episode, first of 2026!! 🎉🎙️
A deep dive into metaphor with @steve_flusberg!
Metaphors delight, provoke, captivate, shock, and galvanize us. What does it say about the human mind that we can't escape them—and frankly don't want to?
