Kavli Symposia create the opportunity for scientific conversation on novel issues. At this meeting together with an exciting crowd of economists, neuroscientists and psychologists we brainstormed about the opportunities for using big data to answer questions in neuroeconomics.

My research in the National Academy of Sciences Museum
If you are visiting Washington, DC you must go and see the interactive exhibit on decision-making under risk that is now a part of the Life Lab: Aging exhibit at the Museum of the National Academy of Sciences. We are collecting data from this exhibit which we will write about soon.

Affiliations: New York University
I am now affiliated with the newly created Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Decision Making (IISDM) at New York University. I am looking forward to visiting Big Apple soon.

AXA Foundation grant
I received the AXA Foundation postdoctoral research grant to study the role of context in decision-making. I will be spending the next two years at Glimcher lab at the Center for Neuroeconomics at New York University.
Mentoring
Summer Undergraduate Research Program at NYU is an excellent way for undergraduates to try first hand if they really want a career in science. This year, I am again mentoring one of the Surpees.
