Jonathan Berman is Associate Professor of Marketing at the London Business School. His main research focus is on judgment and decision-making.

In this conversation, we talk predominately about Jonathan's paper "Moral Choice When Harming is Unavoidable" that came out this year in Psychological Science. As part of our conversation about this paper, we also discuss open science practices, especially preregistration.

BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith. New conversations every other Friday. You can find the podcast on all major podcasting platforms (e.g., Spotify, Apple/Google Podcasts, etc.).
