Researchers of the Future 
1pm, 2pm & 3pm
Behavioural Research Lab, Lower Ground Floor, Clement House

How do people make decisions, like deciding whether to protest for climate change, what to spend money on, or whether to cheat on a test? LSE is home to a lot of research that tries to understand human behaviour and decisions like these. Come along and try activities from previous and current research, see the space, and talk with researchers about this type of science.
