The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme is now open and Oxford Sociology and the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science (LCDS) are inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) to participate. The fellowships foster excellence in research and support researchers’ careers.
People who look to social media for information, particularly YouTube, are less willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19, according to a new publication from the universities of Oxford and Southampton whose researchers are urging the government and social media firms to take urgent action over the findings.
