Farm animals and wild animals suffer in horrible ways in great numbers. At Rethink Priorities, I contribute to various projects aimed at addressing this important problem.

About
I’m a Senior Behavioral Scientist at Rethink Priorities. I am part of the survey team, which means I conduct research on attitude assessments and attitude change, using surveys and experimental designs. Before joining Rethink Priorities, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Social Psychology at Tilburg University, where I continue to be affiliated. On this website you can find information about some of the projects I’m involved in. I also blog about various topics related to my work.
