I'm an associate professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I also founded Smart Air, a social enterprise dedicated to making low-cost air purifiers and teaching people how to build their own.
Great to see that!

Interesting! OK. That's been a struggle with me for a while about the organ donation nudge proposal. So are surviving family members in the US (or elsewhere) saying "no" in these contexts? Or is it that they're not providing affirmative consent? My moral instinct is the default should be to donate.

Interesting! So is that saying opt-out organ donation *would* work in the US, but it gets overruled by family not having explicitly given consent?
