The Problem

A leading authority in psychological research, Western University has no problem circulating its research findings among academic crowds. Getting results in front of a less academic audience? A bit more challenging.


The Process

Take a highly technical psychology paper, published in a celebrated academic journal, and make it digestible and entertaining for HuffPost readers.

I approached this writing project over several sessions, stripping away academic jargon and sprinkling in a heavy helping of anecdotal fun.
