SUMMARY:G. MALCOLM TROUT VISITING SCHOLAR PROGRAM 
DESCRIPTION:
 David R. Just, Ph.D. uses the tools of psychology 
 and economics to find why we eat and what 
 we can do about it. He is currently a professor 
 in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied 
 Economics and Management and the director of 
 the Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics 
 in Child Nutrition Programs. David has conducted 
 dozens of field and laboratory experiments 
 identifying the subtle factors in the environment 
 that can lead children and adults to make 
 the healthy choice. His work on behavioral 
 economics and food assistance programs has 
 shown how low cost solutions-like placing fruit 
 in an attractive bowl-can lead consumers to 
 make healthier choices without reducing overall 
 availability of choices, or breaking the 
 program budget. David's research has been published 
 in scores of research articles.  His 
 research has won numerous awards, including being 
 recognized in Discover Magazine's list of 
 top science stories.\n
 His work has been reported 
 in numerous media outlets including the 
 NPR, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, US 
 News and World Reports, Newsweek, Washington 
 Post among many others. David received his PhD 
 and MS degrees in Agricultural and Resource 
 Economics from the University of California, 
 Berkeley, and a Bachelor's degree in Economics 
 from Brigham Young University. \n\n
