About

Captializing on humanity's tendency to be deceived by beliefs for which there is no supporting logic or evidence, The Horse That Won't Go Away explores stories like that of Clever Hans, a horse that appeared to answer questions about mathematics, language, and music with stomps of his hoof. This and other stories help the authors illustrate the importance of using the scientific method to navigate our way through everyday life.

He earned his PhD in social psychology at the State University of New York at Albany in just 3 years.

He founded the psychology club, established an undergraduate research conference, and has been awarded various teaching honors while continuing to write journal articles, books, plays, and two novels that support the teaching of general psychology and statistics. He is also the editor of Many Things to Tell You, a volume of poetry by elderly writers. Tom is a member of numerous professional societies, and is a Fellow of the APA, the EPA, the APS, and the New York Academy of Science.
