A big thank you to all participants without whom this year’s #sibr2023 wouldn't have been the same. Your curiosity and ideas inspire us! We also thank all our speakers for interesting presentations and fruitful discussions, and the @jherzstiftung for financial support.

On behalf of Ralph, Gerd, Amanda, @marhecht, @Abdulshir and @jherzstiftung - a huge thank you from all of us for making this year's event such an engaging and productive event. #sibr2023 #boundedrationality @arc_mpib @mpib_berlin

A massive congratulations to @Lion_Schulz and Takuro Ishikawa for winning this year’s poster award! 🎉 🥳 🎉 And with that, we are at the end of our #sibr2023. Thanks for tuning in so far and catch you at the next one :) #boundedrationality @arc_mpib @mpib_berlin

Attendees present their group projects. What are key challenges to designing successful policy interventions, and how can the concept of boosting help? #sibr2023 #boundedrationality

What makes us cooperate? @MarwaElZein7 will explore this question in her talk, proposing a theoretical framework of motives underlying collective behavior and highlighting the implications for public policy interventions. #sibr2023 #boundedrationality

Starting day 7 with a talk by @Mehdi_Moussaid on open experiments. Mehdi shows us the potential of involving the public in collective intelligence research to gain insights into the mechanisms underlying collective decision-making. #sibr2023 #boundedrationality

In an interactive workshop, attendees learned from @RalfKurvers about the benefits and pitfalls of using collective intelligence to boost real-world decision-making, such as medical diagnostics. #sibr2023 #boundedrationality

How to present scientific uncertainty to the general public? Odette Wegwarth presents her experiences on translating scientific theory to practice. #sibr2023 #boundedrationality

Psychological interventions save lives - just as vaccines do. @JuttaMata will provide illustrative examples from her own research on healthy eating behavior to showcase how psychological research directly impacts our lives. #sibr2023 #boundedrationality

Now @rahmstorf, a leading voice on the role of communicating scientific evidence in the debate on climate change: How can scientific evidence be heard against anti-science propaganda groups and science denialism? #sibr2023 #boundedrationality @arc_mpib @mpib_berlin

Boosting in Online Environments: Question time with @lorenz_spreen, @AnaSKozyreva, and @roozenbot. #sibr2022 #boundedrationality
