The NCSU, W. M. Keck Center for Behavioral Biology is pleased to sponsor a seminar by a scholar in the field of Behavioral Economics who is also recognized for his ability to communicate the fascinating findings in this field to the public.

Will there be an online presence for this seminar (either in real time or archived)? I am involved in a small behavioral economics seminar myself, several states away from you, and I suspect our enthusiastic and involved students might be very interested in this, having recently read and discussed Ariely's work.
