Question: 9. Do you think you will find something that will change the whole area of health behavior or psicollogy?

I hope so! However, this is likely to be done bit by bit by bit. It’s actually really rare in science that we can change the world with one study. Instead, what tends to happen is that each finding changes our understanding of something a teeny amount, but when you stand back and look at what someone has contributed over the course of their career, all of those tiny findings make a huge impact. That’s something I aspire to do.
