The Population Well-being Lab attended SPSP 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia last month! This marked the lab’s first-in person SPSP and many of the lab members’ first in-person conference. We are so proud of our presenters!
First, Felix Cheung was one of the co-organizers of the Happiness and Well-being Preconference. We had Levi, Elizabeth, Sofia, and Anthony present their work in data blitz talks!

Sofia also plugged a call for interventions in collaboration with the Intelligent Adaptive Interventions Lab to crowdsource interventions to improve short-term well-being. Five submissions will be accepted and implemented, and the submission form closes on March 23rd. Submissions from early-career and more seasoned researchers are welcome.

Finally, Elizabeth chaired a symposium, “Promoting well-being through awe, mindfulness, intergenerational connections, and time use” and presented her work on how reallocating leisure time affects well-being
With many of us being foodies, we also happily explored the food scene in Atlanta and enjoyed Southern barbecue, ice cream, and Persian food!
