@behscientist "If products and processes are behaviorally well designed, we won’t need to nudge people to adopt them." @dilipsoman

Agreed! Looking at #designbehavior will be very important this decade! Happy and open to collaborate!

@behscientist @dilipsoman "Our greatest impact won’t come in isolated experiments on one-off decisions, but in altering the choice architecture of the complex organizations and systems those occur in." @erikleejohnson

Also, as complex systems adapt, our choice architecture should be react & be "pruned".

@behscientist @dilipsoman @erikleejohnson "I would challenge my fellow behavioral scientists to look back at ... how their findings could someday be useful in the real world—and put that idea to the test now." @DunnHappyLab

Yes, future work = researcher's next step!

@behscientist @dilipsoman @erikleejohnson @DunnHappyLab "With psychologists becoming more embedded in product development, a new code is needed to account for the unforeseen challenges of connected devices, large scale personal data collection, dissemination of misinformation, algorithmic bias, and mass surveillance.

@behscientist @dilipsoman @erikleejohnson @DunnHappyLab @amybphd @PoetsAndQuants @DardenMBA Connecting #ClimateChange with people & solutions:

"1) Decreasing psychological distance for climate change by compressing space and time ...

2) Bridging the growing ideological gap on policy solutions to address climate change"
