🎓Thrilled to share that I completed my PhD in behavioural economics and public policy at the @BlavatnikSchool @UniofOxford earlier this month!
A few years ago, after finishing my Masters, I faced a tough choice between academic research and social impact consulting (1/n)

🚨New Paper in @Nature🚨
To simplify & speed up COVID vaxxes in mid-2021, the White House announced free @Uber & @Lyft rides to vax sites. Great idea, right? We ran a HUGE experiment: Do free round-trip @Lyft rides to pharmacies boost vaccination? A🧵

🌟New Publication!🌟Thrilled to share that my pre-doctoral research co-authored with @DrJJGRoberts has been published in @VoluntasJournal. We explore the relationship between individuals’ civic identities and participation in ethical consumerism. Link: tinyurl.com/52tbwu57 1/n

Policy implications: This finding challenges the notion that market-based actions are separate from civic engagement. Recognising ethical consumerism as a form of civic engagement could lead to more holistic approaches in promoting prosocial behaviour across sectors. n/n
This research was conducted when I was a pre-doc at the Marshall Institute, LSE @LSEMarshall with Professors Julian Le Grand and Jonathan Roberts.
Couldn't have asked for a better team or learning atmosphere! 🌟
Great to be back at #OxCSAE2024

Individualism is a significant barrier to climate mitigation.
We evaluated eleven behavioral interventions aimed at stimulating climate change mitigation, along cultural individualism and collectivism orientations in 63 countries (N=59,440).
The more individualistic a nation, the less its residents believed in climate change, supported mitigation policy, and intended to share information (but it it was not related to tree planting in an online task).
While some interventions were more effective in individualistic nations (decreasing psychological distance), and some in collectivistic nations (emphasizing social norms), others were effective in both (writing a letter to the future generation).
These results reveal that and the efficacy of interventions hinges on cultural contexts. osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/cv…
