Kgothatso Montjane plays her first grand slam singles final @Wimbledon today. @KGMontjane1 may the serves be sound and the forehands flow as you continue to fly the flag. You will have your coach and the entire country with you. You’ve already made us proud. Let’s ace this one!🇿🇦
I can testify, this is a really cool job! Somewhere between a research tool project manager and a post-doc on 'how to' conduct ethical research in the Global South, and cross-cultural behavioral differences.
Amongst a plethora of issues in vaccine administration in Kenya, the gender gap looms, too. Lack of gender consideration in COVID-19 vaccine research, too.
In most non-statistical terms, that's quite a gender gap in #vaccine uptake in #Kenya (even as a % of the population).
Health-workers, teachers, security personnel prioritized, @WHO reports women form over 70% of the health workforce.. what's happening?

I'm moving to Chicago! This SA Spring/US Fall I'll start a PhD in Behavioral Science at @ChicagoBooth, and live in the city my mum spent 8 years of her life. Really excited. Ready to be cold.
Do protests have political consequences? Yes: The 2017 Women's March increased turnout and vote shares for minorities in the 2018 House elections. Great paper by my greater RA Magdalena Larreboure @mlarreboure and @fagonza4. Admissions folks, she'll be looking for PhDs next year!
Appreciative of @ChicagoBooth's nuance in waiving english requirements for South African (EM) university grads. Compared to some pretty coarse policies from similar institutions.
@NeelaSaldanha @Smarrtee @CSBC_AshokaUniv @NeelaSaldanha yes! it was great to partner with your team on this. The working paper on results should be coming soon, too!
Check out this article I wrote on work we did with @CSBC_AshokaUniv to replicate some core behavioral biases in India. It gives you a step-by-step through our process of contextualizing biases.

And the results: Handwashing with soap up from 12% to 29%! Why? Partly because school staff invested more in soap etc. It's great to see a BE policy with institutional buy-in - really the only way to go. https://t.co/A8l5DIfPhB
To understand the impact of our nudges on #handwashing behavior, we conducted a randomized controlled trial among public elementary schools in Zamboanga del Norte. Read our findings in a new blog post by @hcrystalhuang, @qnhule and Meg Battle: https://t.co/zfgCQoK2Az
How can behavioral nudges help promote #handwashing? In a new blog post, @hcrystalhuang and @qnhule share their experience with designing and adapting nudges to improve handwashing rates in primary schools in Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines: https://t.co/YfWFMJhf9z
