One year ago we launched Bescy Magazine as a space for Bescy to continue its work ensuring that behavioral science serves as a truly global tool for progress. We’ve focused on amplifying global perspectives, making research and guidance more accessible for practical application, and providing a platform to showcase the important work being done by behavioral scientists across the world. 

We’ve published over 30 articles from people across the Bescy network and beyond, with both established voices and new perspectives contributing to the conversations that are shaping the direction of Behavioral Science. 

As we look forward to the future of continuing this work with the Magazine, step back with us to reflect on some of the impactful articles from the past year:
