among the top 1% most cited scientists worldwide for her research in psychology and neuroscience,

having published over 280 peer-reviewed scientific papers that have been cited more than 92,000

the neurological connection of emotions, how to understand and interpret emotions, and all the findings and teachings of Dr. Feldman Barrett's two bestselling books.

That's right.
