The professor emeritus in the College of Education discusses the importance and legacy of his work with Provost Dan Myers.

Dr. SuJean Choi on The Science of Overeating

Dr. SuJean Choi studies how different parts of the brain tell us to keep eating even when we're full, which includes more than 300 distinct human motivations to eat. Dr. Choi is the recipient of both the Rev. John P. Raynor, S.J., Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence, and the Way Klingler Fellowship Award — $50,000 for three years — which she will use to learn how we can regulate the need to fuel our bodies versus the desire to eat for potentially unhealthy reasons.
