behavior change for good (bcfg)
With Katy Milkman, I am the faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative. BCFG unites a world-class, interdisciplinary team of academic experts with leading organizational partners to advance the science and practice of behavior change. Its pioneering "megastudy" approach allows simultaneous testing of dozens of ideas for changing a behavior—proposed by a diverse array of scientists—to identify which strategies work best, for whom, and how to most effectively create enduring behavior change.
