BSPA is receiving proposals for short presentations highlighting research in eight key areas in which behavioral scientists could have significant influence on policy. These include:

– Eldar Shafir (Princeton)
– Jenn Lerner (Harvard)
– Jens Ludwig (Chicago)
– Peter Ubel (Duke)

– Steven Sloman (Brown University)
The short presentation session is designed to inform and influence academics, policy makers, and managers. Presentations may demonstrate recent key research findings (potentially from multiple papers) with meaningful implications for policy and practice and need not present new work-in-progress. These presentations should not be highly technical. Rather, presenters should craft presentations in the style of TED talks.
