Q. What did the hippocampus say when it retired?
A. Thanks for the memories.(I don’t honestly think this is funny, but it is fitting for me because the hippocampus is the brain area I studied most during my time at Oxford. It has a major role in explicit memory. It gets its name from the Greek for seahorse because that is what it is shaped like. Interestingly, it is one of only two areas of the brain in which new neurons continue to be born in adulthood and this area seems to grow in size when we do physical exercise!).

Q. How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?
A. None. The light bulb has to want to change on its own. -

How many narcissists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just one. All he has to do is hold it in place while the world revolves around him.

I admit it! I had to google some of these jokes (there are some great ones out there).
In the end, I thought I’d share one I found about statistics – because that is actually a big part of psychology and research, and because it usually fearks people out a bit (but it’s really not too scary if you give yourself time to get your head around it – I got 12% in a maths exam once and then ended up with an A* so if I can do it…!)
Did you hear the one about the statistician? Probably…
