About
Making people happier, healthier, and wealthier with behavioral science, at home and abroad.
OUR TEAM
Since the inception of the Center for Advanced Hindsight a decade ago, more than one hundred behavioral scientists, PhD students, post-doctorates, interns, volunteers, and generally interesting people from across the globe have called the Center for Advanced Hindsight home.
OUR PARTNERS
Partners of the Common Cents Lab are tech companies, banks, credit unions, non-profits, and government organizations with the common goal of using behavioral science to improve the financial well-being of low-to moderate-income people in the United States.
Startups that participate in our Startup Lab academic incubator program are exposed to behavioral economics, supported in the integration of insights from social science, and are actively involved in collaborative projects with Center For Advanced Hindsight members in order to answer startup-specific research questions.
OUR STUDENTS
We are committed to sharing our knowledge about human thought, behavior, and decision-making with the world at large. Between our course material on Coursera, Udemy, and Daily Bits: we have a course for you, whether you are a hardcore behavioral science fan or are just looking to learn something new about the world around you.
OUR EXTENDED FAMILY
We keep our followers current with everything that is taking place at the Center for Advanced Hindsight. Do you want to be synced up with the latest behavioral science research, current events, and popular press? Consider following us through our newsletter, and on Facebook, Twitter, and Medium.

WHAT WE DO
From academic publications and reports, to comics demonstrating behavioral science concepts through the eyes of our canine companions, our work takes many forms. While the formats are almost as wide-ranging as the subject matter, all of our work is aimed at using behavioral insights to tackle challenging problems at home and abroad.
