PK Jonason--Your Stylish Scientist

Science is so boring, right? Psychology research is just common sense, right? Professors and scientists dress like nerds, right? Let's dispel those stereotypes and more.

I am a professor of psychology who has spent decades trying to understand mating decisions, mate preferences, personality, sex differences, happiness, motivations, and morality. I am the most cited researcher in the world on the Dark Triad traits, having won the IgNobel award in 2014 for this work. I split my time internationally between places like Italy, Poland, Australia, and Austria. I manage large teams of international researchers trying to understand some of the most fundamental and modern problems in our lives.
