​Writing Competitions

The Decision Lab’s Behavioral Science Communication Contest

The Decision Lab’s mission is to democratize behavioral science. Not only are we looking for informational accuracy and stellar writing skills – we’re looking for articles that can engage readers of all knowledge levels, from besci beginners to seasoned experts. We’re looking for articles that incorporate cutting-edge insights or applications, instead of reusing common practices. And most importantly, we’re looking for work that’s tied to a real-world impact. We love theory as much as the next science communicator, but our goal isn’t just bringing behavioral science to the masses – we want to make it useful.   The deadline is January 31, 2024.  See here for complete information.
