Success on Faculty Research Support Scheme – 21,827.95 AUD
We are extremely happy to have received $21,827.95 from the University of Sydney. And yes, I am not joking this is the exact number! Together with Dr. Stefanie Schurer we will use this money to investigate the role of risk and time preferences as well as personality traits in a randomised control trail that assists 400 overweight patients in losing and maintaining healthy weight. We are working on this project with a great team from the Boden Institute at the University of Sydney. Stay tuned for the results!
