Dr. Kimberly Crystal Doell, a postdoctoral researcher at NYU in the Social Identity and Morality Lab and currently collaborator at SCAN-UNIT at the University of Vienna, visited the EnvPsyTeam. The focus of her presentation was on the topic: designing many-lab collaborations. According to Kimberley Doell, behavioral science relies on
two new approaches: "Many labs studies and mega-studies. Many labs studies involve the same study being conducted by different research teams around the world. [...] Another new approach in behavioral science is the mega-study, in which different interventions are tested for the same outcome in a given population." 

Kimberley Doell explained pros and cons of each approach and provided detailed insights into her current project: Mega-ManyLabs Climate Study

In a second part, she shared with the team numerous interesting and very useful tips and tricks for designing own massive collaboration.
