Jonathan Schooler is Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara. Author of more than 200 scientific articles, his research covers a wide range of disciplines including psychology, philosophy, and meta-science. In this interview, I talk with Dr. Schooler about some currently highly active research areas that he and his team are contributing to move forward, from mindfulness and how to apply it in the classroom, to mind-wandering and its multiple facets, to consciousness and the development of an emergent theory to explain it. The interview closes with Dr. Schooler offering advice to starting researchers aiming to launch their scientific career.
