SHe is a behavioral scientist and a stand-up comedian. She is passionately curious about human nature, which she studies through behavioral experiments and humor. Ovul’s research focuses on Impression (Mis)Management—the mistakes we make when we want to impress others. We all think we know how to make a positive impression, and we can easily spot the mistakes others make, but when it comes to our own missteps, we tend to be blithely oblivious.
