The Siposium: Unpacking the Science Behind Our Daily Decisions

Come join us at The Siposium where we laugh, play, and learn together through experts. Grab a drink, join our topical trivia round, and then sit back to hear our expert share their knowledge in our intimate gathering. Audience interaction and questions are encouraged as we all grow in our understandings together.

This month we learn how emotions play a powerful role in shaping the decisions we make every day. Join us for an engaging talk exploring how modern research in behavioral, experimental, and neuroeconomics is uncovering the complex interplay between feelings and economic choices. From the influence of fear and joy on financial risk-taking to the neural mechanisms behind fairness and trust, this session dives into groundbreaking discoveries and innovative methods. Learn how emotions can lead to unexpected decision patterns and what this means for individuals, markets, and policies. Whether you're curious about the science or its real-world implications, this event promises insights into the human side of economics.
