- I'm super happy and very honored - this is a fantastic recognition of the research my many collaborators and I are doing, says Anna.

In recent years, Anna’s research has in several projects focused on the reproducibility of scientific results, where she together with co-authors (especially SSE professor Magnus Johannesson) study the reliability and predictability of results in mainly psychology and economics. These projects have led to publications in top general science journals like Nature, Science, PNAS and Nature Human Behavior. Anna has also studied whether there are gender differences in competitiveness, the evolution of cooperation, and the effects of hormonal contraceptives on women's risk-taking.
