The Homunculus

steveSteve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

Pretty good interview...not as spectacular as last one, when Colbert asks Pinker, "How does the brain work...in 5 words or less"...and Pinker replies, on the spot, "brain cells fire in patterns"

Steven Pinker is awesome. His throwaway pop culture references and easy-going style disguise the importance of his work.
