Science of Eating
Introduction
Behavioral Science of Eating Conference, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, 9-10 Jan 2014
Behavioral Science of Eating Conference at Carnegie Mellon University
Friday January 10, 2014
In response to the obesity epidemic and its associated societal costs, there has been a surge of behavioral research seeking to understand the source of overeating and how to create policy interventions that curb it. Researchers across the fields of behavioral economics, marketing, medicine, psychology, and public health have given priority to this topic. We are holding a specialized one-day conference at Carnegie Mellon University to provide a focused outlet for these interdisciplinary researchers to share their approaches, findings, and exchange in a discussion of their work. The conference will feature eight talks by invited speakers, and a datablitz to which conference attendees can submit their work. Registration and meals on January 10th will be free for registered attendees, courtesy of generous external funding provided by the Penn-CMU Roybal Center, The Center for Advanced Hindsight, and the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University.
Invited Speakers
- Dr. Dan Ariely, Duke University

- Dr. Pierre Chandon, INSEAD
- Dr. Julie Downs, Carnegie Mellon University
- Dr. Carey Morewedge, Carnegie Mellon University

Data Blitz
The goal of the data blitz is to familiarize conference attendees with research of the other attendees, provide them with feedback on their research from other experts in and outside their area, and foster interdisciplinary research collaborations.
