What is the Insider Insights series?
The Insider Insights series is a collection of interviews with practitioners and academics in behavioural science.
It is designed to give you practical advice and insights to help you find a meaningful and fulfilling career within behavioural science.
I'm new to behavioural science. Where should I start?
Welcome! If you're dipping your toes into behavioural science for the first time, the Insider Insights series is a great place to begin. I hope it will offer a peek into what behavioural science is about and what you can achieve.
What inspired the Insider Insights series?
During my studies, I enjoyed applying behavioural insights to real-world challenges and my experience in a corporate placement helped me understand how behavioural science can be applied in various settings.
However, when I first looked into careers in this field, I found some things challenging. Exciting jobs seemed out of reach (do I need a PhD too?), and clear career paths were hard to find.
Talking with behavioural scientists helped bring the world of behavioural science to life, and I have since realised I wasn't alone in sometimes feeling a bit lost.
This led me to bring Insider Insights to life, an interview series focused on helping those looking for meaningful and fulfilling careers within behavioural science, with the help of academics and practitioners in the field.
As someone who's navigating this space myself, I want to make it easier for us all by sharing insights directly from those who've been there, helping demystify the field and making it easier for aspiring behavioural scientists to make informed career decisions.
