The Ultimate Applied Behavioural Science Graduate Programme

If I had ALL the resources in the world (+ social capital, logistics skills, etc) this is the programme team I’d put together.

(Mostly joking/a bit deludedly optimistic that something like this could happen)

Thread :

Okay. First of all, who is going to facilitate? Easy.

I’d grab @IrrationalLabs
I’ve seen the @bermster @evelyngosnell and @RichardMathera in action. They’re absolute rock stars.

I’d also add @Nudgeathon creator @umar_taj and @dilipsoman for when we scale this thing digitally😎

Right. Guest speakers. The ultimate programme needs interesting, accessible and articulate guest speakers. Fortunately the field has plenty of these.

I’d rope in @danariely @rorysutherland , @katy_milkman , @jeffkreisler , @m_sendhil , @AnnieDuke and #DavidHalpern.

Sorted👌

Okay. Next up, pre-readings🤔

We need the best BeSci content creators and curators in the business to get the participants cogs turning before the programme.

@SamuelSalzer , #AlainSamson , @koenfucius @MoneyMindMerle #EvanNesterak and @nireyal should do the trick 🤩

Workshop material matters! We need super engaging workshop material to facilitate better ideation.

Physical material - @ribotminimus #Nuggets and @B_I_Tweets #EAST card deck 👌

Digital material - @ideas42 ‘s #bhub and @HBCProject (hopefully it’ll be ready in time 🤞)

Applying their learnings. Participants need practical project briefs to test their skills in the wild. 🐘

I’d call on @jezgroom @wrmailer @s_tatam @TheEtinosa and @SquarePegMind to help build out a set of realistic briefs for the participants 💪

Then there is the judging. Who is going to evaluate the participants’ work? Let’s break it up into sections:

Ethics - @CassSunstein @R_Thaler obvs and @LiamDelaneyEcon with @Lis_Costa_ in close support

Problem diagnosis - @Peguha and basically anyone from @ideas42 🙌

Judging part 2:

Intervention Design - @bjfogg , @ProfWendyWood @rshotton @danbenyork @mhallsworth and #StevenWendel

Experiment Design - @mike_t_sanders @LinneaGandhi #CurrisCobb @BusaraCenter peeps and someone from @CapitalOne or @amazon

PR. The programme basically sells itself, but a few podcasts interviews couldn’t hurt 🎙

I’d get @erikleejohnson and @zarakstar involved + the @behavioralgroov guys and @NPRinvisibilia ladies.

We’d get @taylorswift13 to drop a tweet for us too ❤️

Surprises. Since this is all top secret, it seems perfectly fine to share the surprises here 🤫

1. A takeaway version of the course content made entirely from @Karminker BeSci memes 👏

2. Kahneman and Gigerenzer debate on the final day to settle things once and for all 🍿

And that’s it. What is missing?!

(Besides everything that fills the massive void between my intention to create this programme and anything actually happening 😆)
