MABR spotlight: Adam Spencer asks “Can brands de-carbonize?”

Adam Spencer investigated the notion of whether people–and brands–are willing to do a bit more to be carbon neutral. Among other key findings, he found that there is a fairly strong willingness to pay for products that are carbon neutral. There’s also some interesting findings related to race and willingness to pay. He also proposes the creation of an app to help everyone be carbon neutral.

Adam’s project is one of three that we honored with the Outstanding Project Award. Check it out!

MABR Spotlight: Mert Kocabagli on improving online user experiences

Recent MABR grad Mert Kocabagli started his project with a key observation: we don’t read Terms of Service (ToS) agreements online. These are the ‘legal mumbo jumbo’ that we have to agree to in order to access websites and apps. An expert in user experience, Mert’s project looks at ways that the ToS can be improved in order for people to actually read them. What a concept!

Enjoy Mert’s work.
