Diane Sutton writes about the brain and everyday behavior — why interruptions feel so rude, what makes small social slights sting, and the habits that shape how people come across in conversation. She's especially interested in how the brain's reactions to social situations explain things most people experience but rarely stop to question.

Diane spends a fair amount of time checking the actual studies behind popular claims about the brain and behavior, since a lot of "science says" content turns out to be thinner than the headline suggests once you read the research itself. She'd rather explain what the evidence actually supports than repeat a claim just because it has been shared widely.

She writes for readers who want a clear, evidence-minded explanation of why people think, feel and act the way they do — without the hype.
