Fazit aus der Pandemie: "Krisenpolitik muss alle miteinschließen" Menschen waren durch Corona-Politik in "sozialen Blasen" und besorgt über gesellschaftliche Spaltung

Pentagon guts national security program that harnessed social science Dozens of U.S. academics lose grants from Minerva program for studies related to terrorism, drug trafficking, and other threats
