Labor Science in Healthcare and Education Research

On October 9th, O-Lab hosted a virtual presentation series assembling leading researchers in healthcare and education policy to present cutting edge work from the Opportunity Lab’s Labor Science Initiative. The symposium provided the opportunity for top researchers in the field to exchange their insights from the utilization of new data science tools to explore issues of inequality and opportunity in these policy areas. Presenters included Ziad Obermeyer (UC Berkeley), Petra Persson (Stanford), Ben Handel (UC Berkeley), Seth Zimmerman (Yale), Claudia Allende (University of Chicago), and Chris Walters (UC Berkeley).
