Daniel Nettle Directeur de recherche, Institut Jean Nicod, Ecole Normale Superieure-PSL, EHESS, CNRS, Paris

Présentation

Je suis chercheur dans l'équipe Evolution et Cognition Sociale à l'Institut Jean Nicod, Ecole Normale Supérieure-PSL, Paris.

J'étudie un certain nombre de sujets liés au comportement, à la cognition, à la société et à la santé. Mes projets de recherche actuels portent sur un ou plusieurs des domaines suivants :

Les inégalités économiques et sociales, et leurs effets

La coopération et le comportement antisocial

La faim et l'insécurité alimentaire

La cognition morale et politique

Mes travaux connectent les sciences biologiques et sociales. Je m'intéresse aussi plus largement aux explications dans les sciences du comportement, à la synthèse interdisciplinaire et à la science ouverte.
