Last week’s guests included:

• Siri Carpenter wrote the Scientific American article, “Buried Prejudice: The Bigot in Your Brain” which says that ‘Deep within our subconscious, all of us harbor biases that we consciously abhor. And the worst part is: we act on them.” Siri is a science writer and editor and a social psychologist with a Ph.D. from Yale. His articles have appeared in Science, Scientific American Mind, Prevention, ScienceNOW, the HHMI Bulletin, Science News, the APA Monitor (the magazine of the American Psychological Association), and the APS Observer (the magazine of the Association for Psychological Science). Siri is coauthor with psychologist Karen Huffman, of “Visualizing Psychology” (John Wiley & Sons).
