Our new paper--out in @PNASNews today--shows that wealth redistribution promotes happiness. This #MysteryExperiment began when a wealthy couple partnered with @TEDTalks to give away $2 million. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Did you know we have a castle at the heart of our campus? Overlooking the University loch, Airthrey Castle was built in 1791, and has served as everything from a grand residence to a maternity hospital in the years since. 📸 Stunning photo by @matt.ramsey.photo #IGStirUni

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… Great news - but we need to go further and more quickly to alleviate the effects of climate change. I resonate with the line about the 'box of shame' for vegetarian options on menus! Othering those choices doesn't help convince flexis to eat them.

Demand for railway station parking has plummetted since COVID, and so in accordance with the axioms of mainstream economic theory, car park operators have dropped the price to stimulate demand. Have they f***?


Thought this was a great take and we'll worth a read

This post is unavailable.

Great article collecting throughts on behavioural science + advocacy from people in the field (academics + practice).

Do behavioural scientists need to distance themselves from the problem they are solving even if they passionately feel for it and it personally affects them? This timely article by @cintiaphinojosa and Evan Nesterak sheds light on the intersection between science and advocacy.

Confirmation again that #UBI is about more than income. We need to address and so this week discussed #basicincome and: the climate emergency, peacebuilding, Covid, poverty, biodiversity, equality and much more.

Check out this fantastic animation produced by @keiko_sono that we screened during #BIEN2021 A great introduction to #BasicIncome and #DoughnutEconomics @DoughnutEcon get a well deserved shout out 🍩 vimeo.com/589454380

Fascinating: One Swedish region got >70% of 16–17 y.o.'s vaccinated in a matter of weeks, simply by making appointments and sending out notices. sverigesradio.se/artikel/stora-…


And the #BIEN2021 Congress keeps on moving. Today I'm hosting: a book launch on 'UBI in Historical Perspective', a session on UBI + cryptocurrency and a screening of @InherentGood doccon UBI in the US. I can't wait. BTW, you can still sign up here: actionnetwork.org/events/attend-…

By the end of day two I’ve managed to actually take some moments to enjoy the Congress and revel in what an exciting space it is our team has created! Cannot understate how grateful/impressed/energised I am by the hard work of our volunteer team. Smashing it! #BIEN2021

I can't quite believe it, but tomorrow the 2021 #BasicIncome World Congress kicks off. We should have been welcoming the world to #Glasgow, but sadly #COVID19 scuppered that. And yet....we've ended up with the first ever Congress completely online and free to attend
