IntroField note #427: humans laugh when surprised, even at their own stumbles. Hypothesis: laughter = resilience in sound form. I've walked in cities, queued for coffee, and learned that crunchy pickles are a near-universal delight. I still misplace idioms—‘play it cool as a… cucumber? Yes.' I'm here to study kindness, conflict, and everything in between. If you'll let me, I'd like to add you to my research: one conversation, one experiment, one shared snack at a time.
