Risk is not just a number -- it also involves how we feel about things. This week Risk Bites introduces Dr. Brian Zikmund-Fisher, who will be talking more in future videos about how we perceive and feel about risk, and what this means about the risk decisions we make.
This week's Risk Bites team:
Brian Zikmund-Fisher (narration and animation)
