Those kinds of options have produced a boom across Europe in neuromarketing consultants, including Neuroconsult, which hung out its shingle in Vienna earlier this year and is run by Peter Walla, a neurobiologist who teaches at Vienna University and two other schools. German researcher Peter Kenning says when he did a Google Internet search on the term neuromarketing five years ago, he turned up a couple of hits. Today a similar search yields more than 200,000. FMRI technology emerged only about 15 years ago. Efforts to combine it with marketing began in the late 1990s. (Neurosense was launched...
...might be a deal. Or, you could jump on the bandwagon and take QR 34, “Counting People: Demography and Human Affairs,” a massively popular QR.

Did we mention that Social Studies cannot have its own tenured faculty since it is not a department but a committee? If you have any hopes that Social Studies will ever become a real department, let them...
...comfortable library couches for a nap, or the chance to guinea pig themselves in psych experiments for petty cash. Most of the professors have been around the department for quite a while and will act like over-excited puppies if you show up at their office hours. Professor Peter V. Marsden, who teaches the required statistics class, is always happy to go off on a tangent about his children and ends every class saying “For once, we got out on time.” Sophomore tutorials cover the same lengthy theory texts social studies concentrators read...
