Behavioral Scientist
Behavioral sciences focus on understanding how organisms think and interact with each other in their environments. This field systematically examines both human and animal behaviors by looking at historical data, observing current actions in various settings, and conducting structured scientific experiments. The goal is to reach valid and objective insights through careful study and analysis. Some fields within behavioral sciences include psychology, psychobiology, anthropology, and cognitive science. Overall, behavioral sciences mainly concentrate on human actions and often aim to make broader statements about how individuals behave in relation to society.

Years of research in psychology have taught us how important it is for well-being to live in a world in which we can predict and control the things that matter. As Martin Seligman, among others, has shown, lack of predictability produces anxiety, and lack of control produces helplessness. Being able to control events in our lives means we can predict them (if you do X, Y will happen; if you flip the switch, the light will go on).

International aid looks nothing like it did six months ago. Emergency food assistance sits in abandoned warehouses. Health workers who administered life-saving treatment were there one day, gone the next. People who relied on the United States for food and medicine are weaker and sicker, and some are already dead.
