Scott Weems’s career began as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he served as communications officer onboard the USCGC YOCONA in Kodiak, Alaska. His travels then took him to New Orleans, Boston, Los Angeles, Annapolis, and Little Rock, earning graduate degrees in psychology, education, and creative writing along the way.

He also has a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience from U.C.L.A. and once made a little girl cry by telling her that some people go to school until the 26th grade.

In his spare time he whitewater kayaks and plays golf, and occasionally writes about himself in the third person.

“A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road. —HENRY WARD BEECHER”
Scott Weems, Ha!: The Science of When We Laugh and Why

“When we refer to someone as having a humorous personality, what we mean is that this person sees the ambiguity, confusion, and strife inherent in life and turns them into pleasure.”
Scott Weems, Ha!: The Science of When We Laugh and Why

“The human brain is an obstinate beast. It doesn’t like being told what to do.”
Scott Weems, Ha!: The Science of When We Laugh and Why
