Episode 9: Jannis Stöckel: Subjective Perspectives f(or) objective truths. Is perception reality?

Guest: Jannis Stöckel 

Hosts: Fanny Tallgren and Prithviraj Basu Mallik 

 

In this episode we are happy to have Jannis Stöckel chatting with us about his working paper titled "Staying Sick but Feeling Better? – The Impact of Health Shocks on Health Perceptions and Behaviors" co-authored with Pieter Bakx and Bram Wouterse. Draft is available upon request. He is working both at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Health Economics section of ESHPM and at the London School of Economics LSE Health research centre. He also shares with us his experiences of presenting at conferences such as the Essen Health conference. We discuss the pros and cons of going to small versus larger conferences, and what to email another research that you would like to meet up with at a conference. He also gives lots of advice for PhDs and young researchers. More tips are also available upon request!
